libobjc as a shared library does work in GCC, I think it works at least on
GNU/linux, *bsd and Sun solaris.

If you can get some time to get it working on MinGW, that would be great
:-)

At an innocent thought, it looks like it shouldn't be very difficult,
since I suppose there should be plenty of packages built using autoconf
and libtool which compile libraries as DLL on MinGW, and if you get in
trouble, you can just peek what other packages are doing :-)

But maybe I'm missing something basic, as I have no real experience on
Win32.
