The windows libcsound 4 csoundapi~ binary is linked
statically, it contains the csound library OK. The
csound5 also does, if libcsound was built statically.

The reason the precompiled binary (cs5) might not be working
might be that it is built for pd.0.37. Also it is a bit
old and is incompatible with the latest csound5 plugins,
so if you have both old and new installations, it might
be a problem. I'll try to package a csound5 csoundapi~
distribution with instructions in a week's time when
I am back at the office.
