Yeah, and I also think it would be a good idea to put
your recipe on the wiki-page.

Yes, as I've also found out now, there are problems.
I made some simple modifications but even though the
creation of the stub dll succeeds, I get nasty access
violation errors at runtime. I don't have time to look any
closer into this, so I guess we have to leave it like it is:
export by def file :-\
