.lib files are static libraries on Windows. Deleting them won't do anything unless you want to foil their link step. Which they're already doing Windows dev, ya know they're suffering enough as-is.

    They are also needed for compiling a program that dynamically links to a library.

    This will both prevent them from compiling programs that statically and dynamically link to libraries! Conservatives will NEVER recover from this.
