Ok, I found some time to check it out.
Protecting the open_dll() statement by an "if platform()=" test enables a
program containing it to run both under exw and ex, both under Windows and
in a DOS box. So I assume this protection will be enough, although I'll
perform a test with the newly built interpreters just to be sure.
