Summary: Glue .lib file would be useful on Windows

Initial Comment:
When running on Windows, it would be useful to have a QuickTime-
style .lib file that could produce the effect you can get on the Mac 
with weak-linking (i.e., be able to run even if the DLL is missing).
        
This would be a static library that loaded each symbol from the 
DLL manually (rather than using linker-generated 
references), which could then return an error at runtime if the 
Quesa DLL could not be found.
