I've been dreaming about this for a while, too. Is there any reason,
other than speed, that dlltool couldn't emit C code to generate its
import library? That would make this slightly easier to play with.
It would make it a lot harder to incorporate the dlltool functionality
into the linker. The linker can't reasonably invoke the compiler. It
leads into a lot of problems about locating the precise compiler to
use and the precise set of options to pass it.
