So, that explains why I got confused ;-)

But I face a similar problem of dll separation.
Infact anyone who has to access X11 features not exposed in x11drv will 
face dll separation problems.

So, in hindsight, what advice would the DirectDraw or OpenGL developers 
give to someomne facing dll separation problems?
