How long before Dolphin will generate .dll's like it generates .exe's?

The forthcoming Dolphin 5 can generate in-process COM objects. These are
effectively DLLs where the called code runs in the same process as the
caller. We have no immediate plans to support straight DLLs where the entry
points are C style function calls (one of the difficulties being the
marshalling of parameters into the DLL - a situation that is nicely resolved
by the COM approach). However, for those with a suitable C++ compiler, it
would be straightforward to write a DLL wrapper around the Dolphin COM
object that would allow non-COM aware languages to talk to the DLL.
