That did it.  Thanks much.

Where can I learn about this "export" stuff?  I've never, ever had to 
"export" anything (via ld) when making a .so on unix -- it's all done
(for C) by *not* declaring a symbol as "static".  Any suggestion on
a tutorial that explains the how and why when linking dll's on
windows?

Thanks again.
