It's fine to send unfinished patches for comments, if you'd like, but
please say so explicitly, so I don't waste time trying to understand
what they're for, for nothing.

Thanks for doing that.  Splitting self contained patches is
always good.

In this case, x86 desktop and ARM CE are different in that:

- ARM CE stores dll names in unicode.
- ARM CE's dll event reports the address of the dll name.

- x86 desktop stores dll names in ascii.
- x86 desktop's dll event reports a pointer to the address of the dll name.

It may be that x86 CE is a mix of the two:

 - stores dll names in unicode:
 - x86 CE's dll event reports a pointer to the address
   of the dll name.

But this is just guessing.
