Thanks a lot for testing. Does it make a difference with and 
without the canonical DllMain [1]?

Yeah, the reason I didn't bother trying gmodule at first was 
because of the seemingly trivial implementations those two 
functions. However, what you are looking at is an outdated 
version. The GTK+ distribution uses a more recent version that 
looks like this [2]. The only notable difference as far as I can 
tell is that it has Unicode support for _g_module_open.
