It may be overkill, but you're welcome to use the code in cygwin's
winsup/autoload.cc.  It does dynamic loading of library entry points and can
be configured to just return 0 on failure rather than pop up the annoying
dialog.  Once you define an entry point in this fashion you can just use
it as normal.
