DDK BUILD utility and delay loads

Just found it out, although it’s not hard to find if you know where to look. If you put a line such as the following into your SOURCES file, you will be able to make use of the delay-load-feature that is provided by the Microsoft compilers (which includes the one in the DDK :wink:):

DELAYLOAD=advapi32.dll;user32.dll;shell32.dll

This means it is a list of DLLs separated by semi-colons. Very useful to make applications quit gracefully on systems for which they weren’t designed (e.g. NT-apps on 9x/ME).
