That's the square root example. If you do that, you have to make sure
that the use of CRYPT32_CryptFoo is optional and that the function
still behaves properly if your CRYPT32 function is not available.

Strangely there are thousands of people, including lawyers, who seem
to think that the LGPL does what it claims to do. If the problems are
so obvious, how come no one else sees them?  Could it be that maybe,
just maybe, it is because all these people are right and you are
wrong?
