"-headless" is an option of the X11 driver, so that's not that  
surprising.

As for loading the display modules, they have to be shared libraries  
suitable to be used by dlopen(). You only have static libraries, at  
least that's what I guess from the ".a" extension. I guess on Windows  
that would have to e a DLL. And even if you compile the modules as  
Windows DLL you might have to adjust the module loader to look for a  
".dll" extension.
