Is it possible to build Crypto++ 5.1 as a Win32 dll ?

[Matthias Bertschy]

Hello,

We are currently using a old version of cryptlib (4.1) and we would like 
to use the newest version (5.1) not in a static library, but in a 
dynamic library (dll).
So, here is my question: Is it possible to compile+link cryptlib in a dll?
I found a thread in the mailling list from last year 
(http://www.escribe.com/software/crypto/m2940.html), but it is not said 
whether Thomas L succeeded.
It is really important for us to know if we can use crypto++ as a dll.

We are using Visual Studio 6 SP5 on Windows 2000. We get the same kind 
of linking errors as Thomas L:

Can you help us please?
