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.
Wanted to do this now before it gets out of hand.
Ideally, this can be used for a Winelib-like option eventually, too, where you
don't load OS/2 binaries at all but rather compile and link your OS/2-based
source code against this API reimplementation.
It looks like most of the remaining work for that is filling in dozens of
OS/2 APIs that EMX uses at startup just so we can get to our single
printf() call. :)
