Nikolay,
The sources for 2.0.1 can be found at
http://www.gpg4win.org/download.html and the header files are contained
therein.
I do believe that the gpgme library IS libgpgme*.dll, as is common with
libraries originating in UNIX-land,  pre-pending the name of the library
with "lib" and then ending with a library type descriptor and if needed
an extension. (Windows itself could, to some extent, care less what it
is named so long as it can find the library. The same applies to modern
Linux/Unix systems as well.)
The information as to which library you should be using is likely to be
found in the source documentation.
