I've got an implementation of a dynamic-loader that uses static ELF files
(think kernel modules with some extra tricks such as
constructor/deconstructor support [and other C++/Objective-C stuff] :)

If someone could be so nice as to point out where I can get enough tools
to run Gnu C++ under Windows 98, I'd be quite willing to port it over to
DOS (or Windows - though IMHO NT-style DLL's are more efficient than ELF
.so's....  just have a few weaknesses [such as higher RAM usage])

TIA and G'day, eh? :)
