Hear, hear!!

I tried rearranging the code and makefiles recently to build Win32 DLL's for
each sub-directory of the libes directory because I wanted to be able to use
the Grass library with Moscow ML.  Most of the transition went smoothly but
I gave up on the various subdirectories in vect32, which are interdependent.

Win32 DLL's need to have all references resolved at link time which is not
the case for Unix so those interdependencies need to be eliminated, or
vect32 needs to be built as one big DLL rather than separate ones as the
current arrangement dictates.

I posted a couple of emails about this recently but got no response.  I
realise that DLL's are of no interest for normal GRASS development, so these
comments may not be relevant, but just in case....


Cheers
