In 7.0 and 6.7 there were 2 not 3 shared libraries counting the cpp
library that I do not build. The cpp library is enormous when built in
msys/mingw (due to embedding mingw cpp runtime) and we couldn't get it
to build in the Microsoft toolchain. It will be interesting to see how
that looks when built with Cmake.
