I sure don't want to sound ungrateful to you Daniel, or to Nick Trout 
for your posts and the work you are doing, but I, for one, would really 
like to see this whole dynamic library thing available for the Windoze 
platform.  Because of end-user demands, I find myself doing a lot of 
development on Windows.  So implementing this functionality on Linux, 
while a great help, would still be just half the battle.
