It's been awhile since I have had to do this on Windows, but I know I
have gotten the Express version to work for me with MAKE_DLL. I think
the problem is that you have to have the right environment variables set
(I think it is just that cl has to be in the PATH). This happens
automatically if you launch the MS VS command line (from the Start menu)
and then run IDL from that command line. Otherwise, you can find the
location of cl and put it in your PATH (and I think ld also).
