djgpp can sort of do it with dxe or some of the 'lodable object'
libraries out there.... But I would suggest getting Mingw32.
It can do dlls and regular console aplications along with
win32 gui programs.

By the way, what is an Erlang application?
If it isn't a windows program or compilable with mingw32
then you might have some problems.
