Out of curiosity, why would you want it to be a dynamic link library as opposed to say a static library?

The big difference there is if you have global/static variables that are to be shared to multiple children dll's that are dependent on the same dll. Other than that static seemed to be easy to do to keep coding groups encapsulated just as it is in a win32 environment.

There is one other technique that seems to work just as well... this is one project, but within the project each group of files is in its own folder. This one seems to be the easiest to build as I don't have to worry about certain projects being forced to build, when doing it the other way. This method also avoids having multiple instances of singletons (that could occur with static libraries).
