I haven't. I'm not sure it makes sense to try, unless you also have a
libgcj.dll. Otherwise you'll be linking all of the runtime into both your
.exe and .dll images; definitely that wouldn't be good.
Has anyone built a shared libgcj on win32? I think the main obstacle is
telling gcj to dllexport its classes somehow (certainly not at the source
level, maybe as a compiler flag).

Dllwrap is obsolete; "gcc -shared" should do the right thing with a
not-too-old binutils.
