Subject: How do you strip a dll ?

Hello all,

Quick couple o' questions for you gnu-win32 dll experts:

I never have any problems running stripped .exe's.
However, when I strip my .dll and then run an app that
accesses it, I get a pop-up that says:

"The application or DLL </path/file> is not a valid Windows NT image. 
Please check this against your installation diskette."

Are there some special flags that need to be provided to strip dlls ?

Also, on a related note, I find that my dll's are never found by
my delphi .exe's unless I fully specify their paths in LoadLibrary.
This is never the case with gnu-win32 .exe's and yes I ABSOLUTELY
KNOW that they're in my search path.  I launch everything either
graphically
or from the stock MS command shells.  I NEVER use sh or ash or bash.

Thanks,

da bisk
