Check <http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~fjh/gnu-win32/gnu-win32.html> for some
instructions regarding an easy way to build DLLs using gnu-win32 b18.
If you use the Makefile.DLLs listed on that page, then you need to make
only minor changes.

If you want loadable packages (i.e. dlopen() etc.) then b18 is
not sufficient.  However, someone recently posted a patch to support
dlopen() and friends, so check the mail archives.
