Yes, we already had little talk on this. But that's what ignorant
newcomers are good for - they don't know precise level of
impossibility ;-)

Well, then I'll try to convince him of the opposite ;-) Precisely,
my motivating ideas are following:
- It's far more possible to build win32 dlls in sane way than usually
percieved by gnu, and even gnu-win32 people (well, according to my
persception ;-) )
- When there're some problems, it should be taken care to communicate
them to user in sensible way (even for non-win32 ones) and provide
guidelines (ideally, formal steps) how to resolve them.
