Just a side note: the build-zips.sh script that makes the Windows
distribution files always uses the flag -static when building emacs. I
understand this is done so that Emacs does not require copies of the C,
mingw and other libraries.

So, for the record, perhaps a more accurate statement is that Emacs in
Windows is always statically built, except for some libraries, which are
loaded dynamically by the executable itself, not through the OS linking
process

decompress.c:  HMODULE library = w32_delayed_load (Qzlib);
gnutls.c:  if (!(library = w32_delayed_load (Qgnutls)))
image.c:  if (!(library = w32_delayed_load (Qxpm)))
image.c:  if (!(library = w32_delayed_load (Qpng)))
image.c:  if (!(library = w32_delayed_load (Qjpeg)))
image.c:  if (!(library = w32_delayed_load (Qtiff)))
image.c:  if (!(library = w32_delayed_load (Qgif)))
image.c:  if (!(glib = w32_delayed_load (Qglib))
image.c:      || !(gobject = w32_delayed_load (Qgobject))
image.c:      || !(giolib = w32_delayed_load (Qgio))
image.c:      || !(gdklib = w32_delayed_load (Qgdk_pixbuf))
image.c:      || !(library = w32_delayed_load (Qsvg)))
json.c:  HMODULE library = w32_delayed_load (Qjson);
lcms.c:  HMODULE library = w32_delayed_load (Qlcms2);
xml.c:      if (!(library = w32_delayed_load (Qlibxml2)))
