New Classic oversolution.
My solution: write something that works in a single weekend with the tools I have, that doesn't contain even the slightest hint of breaking the installed base. By 2:00 AM Monday morning.

Your solution: use (even learn!) another development environment and language (or two), and get it to run on the webserver, increasing maintenance costs every step of the way. It might be done in February.

I prefer my solution. Run with yours if you like. Alternately, write the DLL for me in cygwin; I've never done anything remotely like that. Or stop bitching.
Many fears are born of stupidity and ignorance -
Which you should be feeding with rumour and generalisation.

You wouldn't know what normal was if it rode into town on the normal express, kicked down your door with its size normal boots, danced into your living room wearing nothing but the word "normal" and sang "normality is here again" on your dining room table whilst dancing the foxtrot.
