Glenn,

I'm not really sure what difference using the VC complier makes vs. the 
MinGW one.  I'm certainly happy about the binary compatibility issue, 
but size of the resulting binary may be the deciding factor.

I've got the current HEAD revision from CVS comming in at 979KB - 
perhaps you would be kind enough to do a build using VC and let us know 
the size of GUI.dll.

In the mean time I'll go to the pain of downloading the SDK and 
commandline tools from micosoft, and installing them on a WIn2k system 
so that I can do that build too.

Afraid that I can't help with multiple perls, as I've not had to try it yet.

Regards,
Rob.
