Hello again!
So I found out how to get the function names and I can successfully call
them. As it is for me sufficient to run my program under windows, I am
going to use the mangled names, without a C wrapper. However, I have
another problem. How do I get values from functions, which return 
multiple values using a pointer? For example:

	void DbXml::dbxml_version(int *majorp, int *minorp, int *patchp)

--Petr
