  Okeydokey.  Now, where did I leave that sack of unused bullet points?

  It'll take me a little while but I'll post a check-list style rundown of the
changes I'd want to add to the DLL followed by a number of worked examples of
use cases.  I believe I can do it without breaking any back compat at all (but
without relinking, existing executables wont be able to benefit from the new
behaviour).

    cheers,
