If you aren't opposed to spend a little money, you can go to
http://www.powerbasic.com.
They still sell (and support) a 16-bit version of their powerbasic for  
windows, that works with windows 3.x.  It also has a program that does  
what you ask for in identifying all the functions of a dll (at least  
the ones that can be called by other programs)
I don't have my pc in front of me (on the macbook at the moment) so  
can't get it's exact name, but it works fairly well.
I don't remember how much the 16-bit windows version is, (they call it  
pb/dll or something similar) but I do own a copy, and would be happy  
to help however I can when you get into working on this clone.
(perhaps starting with gem and adding winapis to it would be easier,  
that way it could run both win and gem programss, but it may be more  
trouble than it's worth, no idea how much trouble something like that  
would actually be.
