oh, linking is done with subsystem:console:5, like helloworld stuff  ...

the OLE is a lot of ported code, which is completely untested.
I would not expect it to run without problems. Unfortunately its not 
highest prio right now. First i want to get the basic widgets to work 
properly.
But if you want to give it a try in debugging, that would be 
apprechiated. If you need assistance, please contact me in #dwt.

Okay, at least we know now that dwt.ole needs some attention :)

I am not able to do the debugging job due to lack of OLE know-how. Sorry.
During the week I have to do bread and butter programming.

Next weekend wrapping Scintilla is on my todo list. Most probabely I 
need some help regarding Event-Handling. (nessesary imports)
