Thank you. I was thinking about it since, and next step 
could be to always generate the implibs dynamically from 
.dll to make it fully generic and thus easing the setup 
and lowering required knowledge about 3rd party tools.

BCC is again the black sheep here, because of the totally 
idiotic way implib and Borland name mangling works, so 
BCC probably won't be able to have such support. Not to 
mention implib bugs.

For MINGW, this whole trick is not needed, as .dll 
can just simply be copied to .a file. (which makes 
MINGW the best tool to work with in regards of .dlls 
- in contrary to some beliefs)

Brgds,
Viktor
