[plug] Need to call MS dll functions

[Jim Householder]

Hi

I just got the Velleman K8055 USB Experiment interface board.  It works 
with XP, but I want to use it with linux.  Problem is that the driver 
for it is a Windows .dll.

I found a site in France with linux software, but I cannot get it to 
compile.  I get undefined references to things like usb-set-debug and 
usb-claim-interface.  usb.h is visible and has declarations, so I think 
libusb (or variant) is not visible.

Is there a way to call functions in a .dll from C or Python?  I really 
do not want to compile MS-compatible code so I can use wine.

TIA
Jim
