It's possible to use the code as a library, but not to build a DLL 
specifically yet, as in, nobody has written the scripts to build a DLL 
from it. The easiest thing to do for now is just to nick the code modules 
that you want, provided that the license is compatible. The code isn't 
stable enough to produce an API that we could package into a DLL.

No, it should work, please let us know what the errors are.

Cheers, Chris.
