Does "cygcheck yourprog.exe" show both test_dll.dll and SHLWAPI.DLL?

Actually, if the DLL was loaded, there should be output even if foo isn't
called...

This could be because the DLL was not loaded, or because of the two stdio

Hmm.  Maybe if the DLL has exported global variables, not just functions?
I'll see if I can come up with the appropriate code and will then post it
to the list.
