I've looked at this, and I'm willing to give it a try, but I'd like to 
test this first on a small sample. Does anybody have any suggestions on 
how I can test this? I'm a little worried that when you use something 
like 'dlltool --dllname foo.exe ....' the name of the executable is 
embedded in the import library, and that you therefore have to build 
that import library with the executable already installed in its final 
location.

Sorry, searched for that, but couldn't come up with any references of 
using dlltool in combination with an executable...
