Hi Nick,

I've got to admit, I haven't the slightly clue why it doesn't work
with a managed dll, but I'm assumming managed dll's require the .NET
framework, and the calling ABI is potentially different and
incompatible. (This is just a complete guess)

There are probably other, nicer alternatives, but I'd recommend
this: try linking to the normal DLL, and then have that DLL call
functions in your managed DLL. Maybe that'd work.
