Sounds like you are asking for some help :-)  Can anyone familiar with
PHP and its dl() present Omar with a solution in which the ITL library
is loaded (in its C format) and is made accessible to some PHP widget ?

You should really consider moving (or at least have a secondary partition)
to linux.  Cygwin ought to work just as well (although I have no direct
experience on it and certainly not with web-related applications) to
compile source, etc.

Its not a question of efficiency as much as keeping with the idiom of
how libraries should be used.  This might be difficult to figure out,
but once done you'd have 2 options with which to proceed.

Thamer, any thought to including Swig interface files - you for it,
against it, indifferent ?  Should simple enough (even trivial) to do.

Omar, don't give up and learn something new (there are people on this
list that can help :-)
