Ah, well thats kind of important. I understand that Windows is quite
popular in some places? ;)
Is there some equivalent mechanism that lets dlloaded plugins dig function
pointers out of the the host? Thier public symbol linking system is
backward too from what I remember.
I don't think theres any reason to stop Windows users being able to share
the love, should they so choose. I used to get a lot of mail asking for
advice on how to compile my plugins on Windows until I put a note on the
website saying I couldn't help.
