That said, I got report that it works on some linux distributions, so 
this might be one specification combination of gcc/ld/binutils.

That said, mso get linked in kw2 and then linked again in the plugin, 
and that is getting a bit ugly, and most likely calling for problems. So 
yes, it feels like there is three solutions:

1) quick and dirty with "if (MINGW)", but we may get the problem again 
later for other platforms
2) make libmso a shared library
3) compile kowv2 in the plugin and link libmso as static, but only once 
(there is no real point in having kowv2 a shared library, unless it is 
used in several places)
