Well, actually those depedencies appeared again, let's have an example:

planner-html-plugin has eg. call to planner_window_get_project that is 
function in planner.exe

Windows (and some other unixes than Linux/BSD) doesn't support undefined 
references, so I have to generate import library for planner.exe so I 
can tell planner-html-plugin where those few functions exists. This 
works, but unfortunately libtool doesn't support it natively, so it must 
be done by hand (at least for now).

It would ease up porting to move those external references to library 
instead keeping them in application...
