UWin's posix.dll provides dlopen and dlclose, and I think everything else
one would need, so if you desperately needed these you could check that
project out and perhaps make a libposix.a.  You could also get the gnu dl
libraries and try and modify them to make (pe i think is what they're
called) Win32 executables.  All in all, good luck.
