Thanks! It's great to see some interest from people on this list.

Of course, implementing a similar feature directly in the linker and in 
the runtime library makes sense, and I'll be happy to see some of the 
ideas developed in FlexDLL appear in Cygwin. (Altough at this point, one 
could also imagine that Cygwin supports another binary format for 
dynamic libraries, e.g. ELF, which can deal with unresolved symbols 
natively.)
