That's really interesting, and thanks for the tips - parity looks like
it could help me with the libtool issues I'm having with MSVC. :-)

Since you've been using ORBit on Windows, did you have to make any
modifications to libIDL? I moved into playing with the IDL compiler
and ran into issues because of libIDL. Pretty trivial changes, but the
code out of SVN did not work.
