yes.  (duh :) )

hmmm... will take a look at those, thanks.

neato.  sounds like a guaranteed winner :)

nice, also, maybe nicer... but surely this does not belong in "./dlls"?  
Will the makebeastie let me put it somewhere discreet like 
"./dlls/mydll/tests/dlls"?

I kind of like the latter, also, because it allows me to kick around 
gazillions of conflicting namespaces, if need be.  

Anyhow, between the two of these I will surely find a winner.  Thanks so 
much!  You know how it goes, the mental bugzapper gets silently shut 
down by the Universal Power Glitchifier sometimes, I think it's back up 
again...
