because your IDE/compiler needs to know what functions (and such) are delivered by the dll, and this all stands in the lib (simple said)...

You can include all the source code of irrlicht (modify it a little ... remove dllimport) and you wont't need LIB or DLL.
You can compile Irrlicht as a Static Library ... no DLL needed then.
