That sounds about right, if it is compiling and you don't' see any 
errors in VCS when you import the foreign interface, it "should" work. 
Sorry I don't have any suggestions for debugging the interfaces also. 
You do have to be careful for 64bit vs. 32bit but you will (should) get 
an error when importing if they don't match.

I don't know enough (off the top of my head) about VCS or have access to 
VCS to be much use.
