No wonder. See the "FIXME" before the "link" action. In V1, the DMC toolset
does not seem to support dynamic linking at all. And in V2, DMC toolset is
1-1 port of V1 version. But in V2, dynamic linking is default.

Can you tell me what command line option to the linker should I pass to
create DLL, as opposed to an executable. And does that option produces
import lib automatically, or should I run separate executable? And what's
the command line for that with DMC?

Thanks,
