Hello
 
The use of Paul S auto-import feature allows dllimports of C++ classes
with GCC-3.0.  The "class __attribute__((dllimport)) foo" construct
causes g++ parser error in Gcc-3.0.  With auto-import the attribute may
no longer necessary (time will tell). See attached example, modified
from dllhelpers, which builds and runs with GCC-3.0 and ld
--auto-import. 

The build is  slow and produces large executables but that is due I
think to the use of templated iostreams.  

Danny
