Extension C module

[jslove at my-deja.com]

I got it to work!

Looks like a cryptic combination of compiler directives did it.

So, I'm using an import library created by COFF2OMF, and the following
compiler directives are used. (I don't know about builder 4, but in
Builder 3, in the project options dialog box, on the directives tab,
their is a text box where you just paste these.)

BI_NAMESPACE;_NO_VCL;INC_OLE2;_OCFDLL;_RTLDLL;_BIDSDLL;_AFXDLL;_X86_;_WI
NDOWS;_MSC_VER=900;_AFX_PORTABLE;_AFX_NOFORCE_LIBS;_CRT_PORTABLE;_AFX_NO
_DEBUG_CRT;_OCFPCH

I don't know which one does the trick.  If you need me to isolate it,
I'll give it a try.

Let me know if this works for you.
