I needed them years ago, when I started with Euphoria. At that time I
didn't have enough experience to write such a program. In the meantime,
I got that stuff, because Chris Bensler sent it to me privately, two
years or so ago (Thanks again, Chris!). He wrote such a program: DAWG
(DLL Automatic Wrapper Generator).

In my previous posts in this thread, I wasn't writing about something
that I want to have privately on my harddisk, but about enhancements to
Euphoria in general. Something that is a kind of standard, so that my
programs can use it as well as the programs of all other Euphorians.
Something that is part of a _well planned framework_, where all pieces
fit together nicely, rather than a _patchwork_. The constants, structs
and function wrappers are only a small part of all this, I know. But I
thought it could be a beginning.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
