One of the major changes in OSLib7 is ELF compatibility so if you would
go for the recompile route, take a snapshot of what's currenting in svn.
On the other hand, I wouldn't like to see you wasting your time doing
this and you can take a test version at http://joty.drobe.co.uk/oslib/.

In fact, we can nearly do an OSLib 7 release right now, there are only
a couple of things to finetune but never had the feeling it got tested
well enough apart from my own OSLib 7 usage and NetSurf test.  So perhaps
based on your future feedback, this might change <hint> ;-)
