Thank you for the clarification, that makes sense.  I'm still stumbling as to
why WSPStartup is never being called.  Perhaps it is the case that you just
can't install 32bit DLLs to the 32bit catalog, and that they must indeed be
64bit DLLs.  This doesn't seem like it would be true, however, as I am able to
install the LSP without the system complaining, which it will normally do if
something isn't correct.

In my last ditch attempt I am going to install Windows 7 x86 and see if my LSP
will work correctly under that host, in addition to compiling under that host
and testing on my Windows 7 amd64 host.

I initially thought I had stumbled upon the answer, that being the placement of
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, but this would have no effect on the C version of the LSP,
which also fails to work properly.
