Since the loading of a DXE is something done entirely by the DJGPP 
startup code, and the OS doesn't help in this a bit, there's no way you 
could achieve this without extensive changes to the DXE machinery.

Remember that loading a DXE effectively defines entry points to some 
functions, so it has to be done by every program.
