Actually, it's a win32 c++ app with lots of win32 c++ dlls and one winelib
c++ dll.  The winelib dll depends on two other win32 c++ dlls, which the app
also depends on.  I'm trying to avoid turning those other dlls into winelib
dlls, since one of them uses ATL.  Am I trying to do something that can't
really be done?  Is it possible to make the stub dll that winelib generates
forward calls to the win32 dll (ie, give it both the gcc mangled name and the
msvc mangled name)?
