# If you don't like

'Proper' (no insult intended to the genii behind gnu-win32) Unix systems have 
the
capability to produce "statically" or "dynamically" linked executables. From 
what I understand
of M$'s terminology, DLL's (*dynamic* link libraries), are required for 
dynamically linked
EXEs. So surely the answer is to get gcc/ld to produce statically linked 
EXE's?  I would
assume that it **must** be able to do this, since it seems to be able to do 
everything
else 'part from make the tea/coffee.

Go on someone, tell me I'm haverin' (Scots for "talking garbage") - or not?
