With your additional work in dumper.py and shlib.py I managed to get
through a build.  That being said, there are additional patches that
need to occur in dumper.py.  I'll forward those to you based on your
github work.  Such things as needing to convert \\ to / and moving the
object file to the front of the command line list in _link as well as
the '.exe' instead of 'exe' ext value.
