I think he has said that DLL creation is in the translator's future.  I
don't know about any specifics, however, here are some suggestions.  Add a
command line option for ecw: '-dll'.  Don't add any prefixes to global
functions and add _export _stdcall to the definition.  Also, generate
LibMain, rather than WinMain, of course.

As for the optimization, that's exactly what it does (as far as removing the
function).  But remember that a DLL is really like an include file.  Most
libraries don't call their own functions.
