IMO not at all. I'd hate to fiddle with dlls (mean put in path, copy along with
exe, handle different version in the path, or the other dir I'd like to
copy the exe to, etc) when using these tools. For these tools it won't
even save disk space as just the two dlls are 5.1MB (with MSVC), while
all standalone tools are altogether about the same size. So what would
be the point? (besides making smaller binary distributions, but our
package is quite slim anyway)

Just some more notes:
non-GNU make MSVC/BCC builds _do_ already provide hbrun-dll.exe
and hbtest-dll.exe for those who prefer them. GNU-make MSVC/BCC
doesn't even have .dll support yet.

Linux distros also use it by default. So I'm not sure which platform
have you meant.

Brgds,
Viktor
