The latest libtool can do win32 dlls quite well (few kinks here and there
but overall quite well), but the actual sources may also need to be changed 
to accomodate the fact that you have mark certain decls as either exported
or imported to make it work correctly. I haven't gone through yet to see
if that's necessary for libstdc++ yet, but that's the next step. Libtool
1.3 btw does much better than libstdc++'s 1.2g.

I'll see how it goes and let you know. I'll have to figure out how to
upgrade the libtool locally, but I'm sure the lt docs will have 
something on that.
