Paul,

I don't know if this will help you, but I've created a simple example
of linking gcc and msvc objects together:
http://www.cs.utk.edu/~jhorner/cygwin32/ i've also tested these
examples with both mingw32 and cygwin32 gcc. The most important point
is that both msvc and gcc default to using the _cdecl calling
convention. 

When I have a chance, I'll add some pointers about mixed language programming
and calling conventions... if there's a demand for it.

To the list,

Has anyone successfully gotten tcl/tk and perl talking together. I have a 
financial package, cbb, that uses both and I'd really like to use it soon.
