I thought the build tag (which can be any one-line string)
was enough.  Why do we need anything else?

This is impossible, I would reject them.

In general, this sounds almost OK, although I do not see why
it would be simple to generate.  We should accomodate both
MSVC and MinGW, right?  Their outputs are different.  And
some asterisks might be useful to separate the compiler and
test output.

But I think it is rather hard (Jakob?) and not sure whether
it is worth the effort.  Apart from the compiler output
everything can be generated from the build tree (and I have
the shell script for that), and since the build procedure is
not automated, Jakob could simply copy some relevant output
into dsound.dll.txt, possibly add some comments, tar it up
with the master file and send it to WinHQ.
