hmm welll the EAPI was there so *IF* u build the app AS a .so (.dll) then
elementary quicklaunch can run it faster (skipping several link and setup steps
that are pre-done). thats why its EAPI. but if u build an executable on linux
the EAPI is harmless and doesnt hurt

so what you are saying here is this:

on linux we can put EAPI in binaries without harm
on windows putting EAPI in a binary will cause the compile to fail? (as opposed
to a dll)?
