There's no chance for the DLL to handle shebangs.
Of course, if you wanted to be nice, you could write a patch to run.exe that teaches it to read() the contents of a file that it is about to execute, and if it starts with a shebang, run the interpreter directly instead of handing things off to the Windows call (and maybe make this mode optional, requiring a command line option to turn on?). This is open source, after all. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
