So I ended up using an import library for a while, but I then
wanted to get the handle of the DLL, which I don't know how to do
with an import library. I also didn't like the non-customizable
Windows pop-ups that appear when the libraries can't be found so
I finally wrote some mixin code to generate the boilerplate for
dynamic loading:

Now you only need to declare the functions in a Struct:
```
struct FunctionsInMyDLL {
int getVersion();
string getName();
// more functions
}
```
And the templates do the rest. :)
