Well, I've heard that they compile OS X (or parts thereof) on x86, but 
this would be a Cocoa for Windows, and that would be kind of cumbersome 
to maintain on the side without a "product strategy". ;-)

I guess I was unclear... My original question was whether to use 
GNUSTEP_WITH_DLL or EOCONTROL_WITH_DLL.  Your file suggested the later, 
but gnustep-make expects the former.  I first thought that we have to 
augment our headers to support both.  But as long as Apple doesn't 
release a new Windows version of Cocoa, we can stick with GNUSTEP_WITH_DLL.

Great!
