Now a perl script parses our headers and generates glue code, export tables,
etc. This automates all the macro nonsense and bridge code, and separates
out all the stuff you need for binary compat with OS/2, so you can remove it
all from the build if you want to just build native libraries that supply
the OS/2 API to native apps (like Winelib vs Wine).
This makes upkeep details less nasty, and easier to build native binaries
when implementing and improving APIs, so you can debug directly without
a lot of drama.
Finger (etc) also rely on MPTN\DLL\tnls32.dll, which I pulled out a copy of
OS/2 Warp 4.52, which loads and limps along enough to not be a problem.
Reimplementing that library is going to be a pain, so that's a job for another
day. Inexplicably, tnls32 references pmgpi.dll's GpiQueryTextBox(), so I put a
stub for that in, too, but we're nowhere near really implementing GPI yet.
This is enough to run "finger.exe icculus@icculus.org" and see my .plan file,
which I consider a victory. A few more TCP/IP command line tools aren't far
behind.
