The linker option "-lole32" tells the linker to look for "libole32.a",
not "libole32.dll". "libole32.dll" is needed at run-time, but
"libole32.a" is needed at link time.

libole32.a is from the "extra" Windows GNAT installation file
"gnatwin-3.15p.exe"; make sure you install that. It puts "libole32.a"
in GNAT/lib/win32; gnatlink should look there automatically.
