No, that's not a problem.  (?  what do you mean?)  As long the cross-DLL calls
are C, we're okay.

Sure.

Sure.  Completely inline classes in the header work just fine.  Look at:

I think it's pretty clear that we have different priorities for this library. 
I'd rather not duplicate effort, but maybe that'd be easier.
