Paul,
I have no idea how to do that in VB, but in Delphi the following works:
If you build a DLL with -mno-cygwin, you can say

function  StartIntegration(inifile: PChar;param :Pointer): integer;cdecl;
extern
                 'crm.dll' name 'StartIntegration';

in Delphi.

If you build a Cygwin-DLL, you have to do the following:

Var
 StartIntegration: Function(inifile: PChar;param :Pointer): integer;cdecl; 

initialization
  h := LoadLibrary('crm.dll');
  StartIntegration := GetProcAddress('StartIntegration');
end;

The first is very similar to linking against an Importlibrary, while the
second is something magical to me. It works for me, but I usually have 
an rxvt, inetd, or other cygwin process running. In this way you can even
mix DLLs depending on cydwin1.dll and mscrt.dll, althaoug this is not really
efficient.

Ciao
Tom
