Mostly correct. Unfortnately, libwrap is bad. It uses an int
(allow_severity and deny_severity) that are expected to be defined in
the application (so, tcpd.h says 'extern int allow_severity').
This is okay in a static lib, but not in a DLL. instead, stuff must be
changed around so that the library itself defines those variables, and
exports them to the applications -- AND the applications must NOT
declare them...which means patches to main() in tcpd, tcpdmatch,
safe-finger, etc.
And sshd.
