as always, you are right, mumit :-)
i was absolutely sure that i had tried every possible
combination of import lib / function prototypes / def file ...

well, it works now :-)
the only thing that i don't like with this approach is that i have to
manually create the def-file using either the linker error output or
the header-file to add the correct values for the decoration. looks
like a job for some perl-script :-)

because of that, i get back to my question: would't it be possible for
ld to link to the undecorated symbols if it can't find the decorated
ones ?
i would be willing to (try to) do that patch, but perhaps there's
something that prevents that approach ?

oh, sorry. i typed that from memory and (when typing it) reminded
myself serveral times to look up the actual error messages, because
somebody might get confused ;-)
