windows? posix??? even without sfu???

I don't think that windows provides for (direct) access to main
application globals from a DLL. You could use ugly workarounds, like
calling a DLL function with the address of x.

Oh sorry, I misread the program - see, it's not obvious 8-)

Can't do that AFAIK (and I'm no windows expert). Normal .exe's don't
have an export table. You'd have to put basically all of gnucap's core
except for the DLL loader into a DLL which is linked to all the other
DLL's...
