I've attached a patch I've put together that includes Nick Glencross' patch
in ticket #37303 and additional changes that allow for a shared DLL to be
built on Win32 using MS VC++. This has the happy side-effect of fixing the
issues with pbc_merge and dynamic classes (I guess this was one of the main
motivations for sorting this out...).
Anyway, leo asked me to send this to the list for other people to try out
first before it goes in. So, voila.
Thanks,
Jonathan
