Hi John,
I think so, but this is getting over my head. Hopefully, I got you further 
along the way.

This sounds good, but does .Net include the command-line compiler, 
linker, etc.? My understanding is that with these tools we would be able 
to create make and rc files and then just run them with a .bat file to 
create either 32 or 64 bit versions of the libraries. Only some header 
files would need to be changed, and this could be explained in a short 
README file. Once we have the necessary files porting new releases 
should be easy.
