I recently compiled the superpatch with djgpp, which has no
support or easy work around (so far as i can tell) for dll's. 
What i did for the ridged multifractal was just cut and paste
the code from fractal.c into isofuncs.c.  What is amazing
is that it actually works. of course, it not a "library" 
function now, but a) that saves typing in the library 
particulars, and b) its not like it made povray much bigger.
As a matter of fact, i did the same thing with all those
i_*.c files except the the 3d density file, which i haven't
gotten around to figuring out.
