IIRC, the [shell] code is capped by an "#ifndef _WIN32" currently, so  
there is a shell.dll, but its empty, hence the error.


AFAIK, no one has gotten [shell] working on Windows in any way. Plus  
now that I think about it, MinGW won't work either.  I am pretty sure  
that [shell] needs a POSIX environment, MinGW is not POSIX, Cygwin is  
tho.
