Comment (by simonpj):

 Phyx, that sounds amazing!  I have not idea what you are talking about --
 I do not know enough about Windows and import libraries -- but for the
 first time we have someone who DOES actually understand looking hard at
 it.  I always HATED the dll-split thing.  Thank you.

 Maybe before you are done you can write a Duffers Guide to what people
 need to know about Windows linking to make sense of the implementation
 strategies you are using.

 With thanks

 Simon
