Stepstone is already working on building a compiler which will not
require that you exit Windows to compiler your code.  It is unlikely
IMHO that Chris will get the source to Stepstone's compiler.  It is
more likely that Stepstone (or someone else with access to the source)
will modify the compiler to make it "better" for the generation of DLLs.

If I thought there was sufficient demand for such, I might do it
myself.  I would also need a specification for the desired changes (or
enhancements).  Can someone out there tell me specifically what it is
you want?                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^  What
specific changes should be made to the generated code?

Ken
