If pcscal32.lib was written in C and compiled by MSVC, just rename it.
If it was not written in C, you're out of luck: there are ABI differences
that you won't be able to get around without recompiling.
If it was not compiled by MSVC (or something compatible), you'll have to use
whatever your compiler offers to convert it - if anything. Otherwise,
recompiling is the only thing you can do.
