  At a muddled glance (didn't sleep well last night) I suspect that
s_WindowingSystemInterface is actually set by some singleton code that is normally
instantiated during DLL init which doesn't happen in a static link.

  A similar situation happens with the registration of the plugin/loader DLLs. I believe
you have to hunt down where the registration of the plugin is done, and force that to happen.

  Perhaps someone who has done it more recently can comment. Though I was the original
instigator of the OSG static-link process on Windows, the last time I static linked OSG
was pre-OSG 1.0.
