Description
I am writing a premake script to build a plugin for a large project which uses .a for libs shipped with its SDK on Windows.
Is there an easy work around this problem? I see only .obj and .lib are checked, otherwise .lib is added and I end up with .a.lib mess.
Previously a similar issue was referenced in
https://github.com/premake/premake-core/issues/87
Thanks.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows case described in the issue with a Premake script that links a library ending in .a. Trace how link-file extensions are recognized and when .lib is appended; done means the custom .a library remains usable without becoming .a.lib.
