Well, I read that, precisely why I stated right at the end that even though he didn't have the source he could build a wrapper. After all, he has the headers, so he could make a library which imported those functions in spite not having the code. Forgive me if I am wrong about that, but I think it's something pretty normal/doable.

So I'm *kindly* (really, no offense) telling you to read what *I* said right at the end:

But oh well what does that matter anyway right now? The real point here is to try and help.
