Right, so you have a very, very specialised use-case: you're doing 
GetProcAddress for each function and you're using whatever ABI mechanisms you 
need to find those functions (note that you *cannot* call __thiscall functions 
with MSVC since the "this" parameter is passed in a register).

I don't think we want to ship those extra binaries for such a corner case. No 
one else is going to need them.
