Win32 port: where are .a libraries in 8.3 - Mailing list pgsql-ports

Hope I'm addressing this to the correct list...

In 8.2 (and earlier, I presume) there are .a libraries useful when developing
and linking with the Mingw C compiler (the MS .lib variety are also there).
The .a libs seem to be missing in the 8.3 install while the MS libraries are
all there.

Is there any way to get them back?

I'm using the official Win32 installer downloaded from postgresql.org.
