Hi,
if you would leave the "lib" out the plugins would be named the same for 
mingw and visual c++. This would make it necessary to change the 
path-variable each time you start an osg-program in case you want to use 
both mingw and visual c++.
This is only the case for the plugins, as for the main modules in the 
mingw build the version-number is not attached (in contrary to visual).

I have just done a mingw-build, but I don´t usually use it anymore. At 
the time when I was using both it was very good that they were not named 
the same. I would vote to keep the lib-prefix!

Regards,

Andreas
