Since DJGPP is aport from the unix compiler does it support shared libraries
under DOS as well? I guess not, but I have to ask anyway. Under Unix you
usually use a switch while compiling in order to create a shared library (not
that stupid DLL stuff) so I guess the compiler should be able to do it (like
older compilers created overlays).
