I've had reports that they work, but I'd really like some windows
person with more build experience to look at it too.

>But is there an official way to build DLLs?

No, but I'd love somebody who knows windows build stuff better than me
to write one; if somebody does, I'd be glad to merge it.  I *think*
the mingw build system could be tweaked or coaxed to do it, but I'd
have doubts about which symbols it would choose to export.

(Yes, I'd even take a cmake-based solution, so long as it doesn't
break platforms that prefer to use autotools.)


(Also, sorry to everybody for my general "Good idea, can write a
patch?" approach to questions on the mailing list lately: I'm facing a
really tough deadline at work. I hope to have some more solid Libevent
time again some time in November and December.)
