I'm not sure that I understand this statement.  My understanding of DLL's is
that they run are basically a library which any windows based compiler should be
able to link to.  It should be irrelevant what compiler is used, so long as it
supports the platform.

Does this mean that I have to build and run under the bash shell?  I'd prefer
not to be constrained by this if I can help it.

Thanks,

Peter Tersteeg.
