Indeed.  Dlls really are quite deficient by comparison with elf shared
libraries on unix (which is what I am trying to emulate -- more fool me!),
for example you cannot leave undefined symbols in a dll which will be
provided later when the library is linked, and you cannot override symbols
in a dll with symbols in the main source.

I am trying to ignore these problems for the moment until I can at least
make global data be well behaved.

Cheers,
        Gary.
