August just brought this potentially handy piece of software to my attention:

http://code.google.com/p/dlfcn-win32/

Basically, it allows you to use dlopen() to access the native Win32 calls.  Or in their words: "This library implements a wrapper for dlfcn, as specified in POSIX and SUS, around the dynamic link library functions found in the Windows API."

We are including it into the MinGW build system, so potentially, Pd code could use only dlopen() and work on all platforms.

'libtool' implements a nice interface for dynamic loading, and the interface is cross-platform.
