It seems to me that the string table resource file layout is sufficiently
simple that you should be able to build an AWK script to convert it to nice C
structure definitions for the UNIX side, rather than trying to parse the DLL
binary. It's also not hard to get AWK for NT so you could test that part on
NT as well.
