Note that this document talks about stuff that AFAIK requires
cooperation from the runtime dynamic linker, that it knows how to
search for a suitable version of a shared library. No such dynamic
linker on Win32, alas.

(Writing a Unix-like (or should one say ELF-like?) dynamic linker for
Win32 would be an interesting exercise, of course.)
