This one doesn't create any files and builds everything in memory. The performance increase on Linux/ext2fs is quite significant; on MS filesystems, and for large implibs, it's a few orders of magnitude faster. The performance increase really shows when you're building an import library with say 10k symbols (eg., wxWindows implib contains ~8.5k symbols, and that can kill your FAT filesystem, or at least bring it to its knees). The code is adapted from DJ's pe-dll, tested on my local tree. However, expect bugs and misfeatures. Same command line options as the normal dlltool.
