I seem to remember loading C++ DLL's in an application that I was a
developer for and it worked fine. I don't remember any of the details
but I do know we were dynamically loading them. On the other hand I
don't think it's a big deal if things are just statically linked. There
are advantages and disadvantages to both ways.
