Ah, I'm back from vacation.. have been since Monday, actually. Just been busy trying to catch up. (Yeah, I go away for just a few days and come back to THAT MUCH!) Anyways, much relaxed, and thinking MUCH clearer, I think I may have come up with a possible solution.

Multiple executables. Linked via DLLs. The primary executable calls the DLL which calls the appropriate executable which interprets the module.

Yes, it's rather complex, however, I know that I can make it work. I've done it before. It will also minimalize bloat. A few UI executables and many modules.

That SHOULD work in theory. I haven't touched it since I got back, as I'm still catching up on DB2 and SQL stuff that I have to take care of immediately, but I'm hopefully going to get some work done today.. we'll see what happens. :)
