I confess I don't recall, but what I've built so far has been dynamically
linked.

As Dimitry Andric wrote, the required dlls are simply shipped and installed
without so much as a 'by your leave'!!

Quick comparison (VC6):
                     Dynamic Link              Static link
ogg.dll              24kb                            56kb
vorbis.dll          148kb                          212kb
vorbisenc.dll     860kb                          900kb
vorbisfile.dll      36kb                            84kb

Certainly larger when statically linked, but is an extra 184kb that
significant in this day and age?
