DSS shared library .dll/.so API for both Java and .net consumers.

Thinking about #31
Any thoughts if we should attempt to make a new dll/so called '[lib]dss.so / dss.dll '
Can that dss.so be used by both JNA and cross platform C# P/Invoke?
The new shared library would have the minimal and (nicer names) interface to DSS
If Fortran were also supported the following are functions are in use:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| XREAL_ | convert character to float |
| UPCASE_ | convert character to upper case |
| DATJUL_ | convert character date such as 'March 21, 1982' to days since Dec 31,1899 |
| YMDDAT_ | |
| GETIME_ | |
| JULDAT_ | |
| CHRLNB_ | |
| IDAYWK_ | |
| INCTIM_ | |
| IYMDJL_ | |
| JLIYMD_ | |
| WHEN_ | |
| CURTIM_ | |
| ZSET_ | |
| ZOPEN6_ | |
| ZOPEN_ | |
| ZCLOSE_ | |
| ZGINTL_ | |
| ZPATH_ | |
| ZCHKPN_ | |
| ZUFPN_ | |
| ZSRTS_ | |
| ZSRTSC_ | |
| ZSITS_ | |
| ZSITSXD_ | |
| M2IHM_ | |
| IHM2M_ | |
| ZPTPFD_ | |
| LJSTR_ | |
| ZSPD_ | |
| ZGTPFD_ | |
| ZDTYPE_ | |
| ZPTDTS_ |
This seems like a good idea. And a good way to start constraining/simplifying what's actually built by dss itself.
When I was building DSS v6 from a common codebase for Windows, Linux, and Solaris, I always built a heclib.dll/heclib.so just for that purpose, but it had all of the routines in heclib.lib/heclib.a available. It was never used for anything, though.
