For OpenDoors on borland, you have to use implib on the OpenDoors DLL to get a
lib file, if I remember correctly the one in the zip is for Visual C++ hence
the need to convert it. Then just list the lib along with the other files to
compile and it'll get linked in.  (again, if I remember correctly... for door
compiling I use the Borland IDE rather than the command-line tools)

For Synchronet XSDK, just compile in the XSDK source and you should be set.
