Headers  are not an issue here. What I am talking about is that things has 
different names in LIB/DLL. I can send you a LIB and HPP file of a simple 
class, with only static memeber, but you will not be able to use (you will 
fail at link time) even with headers available, since I won't tell you which 
compiler to use. But any functions, delclared as extern "C *will* be useful, 
since mangling (AKA decorating) is standard, although unofficial
