Really, I am surprised since if you look at the GNAT user guide, you will
find a section devoted to Microsoft Windows Topics.  In this section you
will find information on building DLLs with GNAT.  This makes me curious.
How exactly did you examine GNAT's functionality so that you missed this
provision?  Did you just read a list of features off of a web page without
downloading the compiler, did you overlook the section on Windows, or did
you not look at the user guide?
