My own success have varied depending on which tool that I have used.
COFF2OMF seems to be the one most appropriate with old libraries (such
as VC++ 6.0 and earlier). Coffimplib only works with a few libraries,
(in my own experience) and I have had least success with this tool,
whilst objconv works in most cases. I would recommended to try them
all and see which one that works best for you. If none of them works,
try to use them on different compiled libraries (the one's on the
website and the one's that you have compiled locally etc..).
