Yes, Michael, that's what I am thinking of, too. Actually - as far as I am 
informed by my linker - only the entry points cppu::bootstrap(), 
cppu::BootstrapException::getMessage() and probably 
cppu::defaultBootstrap_InitialComponentContext() are missing - not too much to 
create a small compatibility library.

I think I will have to learn a little bit of how to create decent dll's ;-) , 
and - of course - once the code should work, you may include it to the normal 
distribution.
