Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. The current version doesn't appear
to be in the source tarball or CVS. Perhaps it should be?
BTW, I was able to get MSVSE08 to build a usable DLL over the weekend, but
this will save me having to figure out how to script it up, and I'm sure the
4GiB patch will be useful as well.

That's the direction I was headed. Thanks for the confirmation. I'll keep
your e-mail address around in case I have more detailed questions.
