That's exactly what we'll need.  What I did will the dll was to copy the
unmangled names into Excel, and assigned them each the proper ordinal, and
used that for reference.  Then I put that into a text file, and wrote a
little program to wrap the ordinals for me.  I've now got a file that's
slightly over 1Mb of constant declarations.  At some point, I'll need to
break them up somehow, but I'm not sure how to do that when we'll have a
similar list for the Linux version.

I've been working on making it into a real library.  Hopefully I'll have
something worth looking at in a few days.
