Unsure what it is that upsets it so much, but when linking
both sndfile and fftw dynamically, the linker gets confused
and thinks that fftw is importing sf_close from the blender
binary (which makes *NO* sense) leading to a start-up error.
Generating the import library from the .def file using the
ms lib tool creates an import library that works fine.
