Will make this change by Wednesday.

There is definitely alot of symbol export errors, but there are also
some memory management across DLL boundary issues. Will give some more
detail info on this once static build stuff is done.

The first problem I noticed is that gen_make doesn't find the .c file
when you are building and therefore doesn't add it to the files list for
the project. This could be hacked around, but then you get into other
stuff related to delaying this copy and I'm not sure the benefits of a
late copy is worth all the extra effort (KISS)
