At least .so creation doesn't work for classes and ansistrings atm. For .so 
local variable references in the .so are copied local, for .dll this isn't 
done. And for .so all .globl defined things are exported and can be 
accessed while for .dll you can only access the variables defined in the 
exports section.

But for the moment, don't think about creating dynamic linked libraries 
becuase there are still problems. Hopefully after the next release it'll be 
working
