Interfacing to Breve using Visual Studio.NET?

Hello,

I'm new to this list and I've recently been experimenting with Breve.

I'd like to write c++ code in Visual Studio.NET that interfaces to Breve. 
After reading the documentation and tinkering with plugins, my impression 
is that GCC must be used on a Windows platform.    If I create a DLL 
project using VS.NET and  try to build the c++ plugin code, I obtain the 
following error:

VSTest error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _brNewBreveCall 
referenced in function _cppSampleLoadFunctions

Even if I were successful, I'm still confused because on the one hand, the 
documentation refers to dlltool which I believe should create a DLL from a 
GCC object file  - yet the @plugin directive appears to expect a GCC *.o 
object file, not a DLL.

I'm beginning to think that it is not possible to use VS.NET, perhaps not 
without porting Breve to VS.NET (something I'd rather not consider 
attempting)

Has anyone attempted interfacing via VS.NET and  if so, is there an 
example somewhere?  I'm stuck.

Thanks.

-- Greg
