It would be nice if we could get rid of cygwin_non_cygwin_dll_entry@12
by next release! However, that will mean breaking binary compat, so 
may not be an option. Failing that, it really needs to be looked at
to make sure we're doing everything needed there right now (ie., init'
ing all the stuff that's needed for a Cygwin DLL loaded by non-cygwin
app/DLL).

Also, some test runs with gcc-2.95 pre-release snapshots will be quite
useful. 

Oh, and if we are breaking binary compat, then we should take the 
opportunity to switch over to using vtable thunks.  

I'm not sure if/when I'll time to do either, so any takers?

Mumit
