Well, Rev DLLs have a special header that must be compiled into the
external, which I assume is expected by the Revolution engine when it goes
to load it. Personally, I'd *love* to see Rev use normal DLLs so the
workaround wouldn't be necessary, but until that happens at least there's a
way to do it.
