     Does a Windows computer without IE really exist ?

     If I guess well in assuming that PInvoke is similar to
LoadLibrary+GetProcAddress (or dlopen+dlsym for Unix-speaking guys), well,
we would have the overhead I have mentionned earlier, but I do understand
your concern with reducing dependencies with non "ubiquitous" DLLs.

     Would you want me to do that or do you have already taken over "my"
code ?
