DllOverride for ocx?

One hack you can do, If you have the Code for the OCX, is change the 
dll's name and compile against the new name.
Now the OCX relyes on one dll and the rest of the code on another you 
can even run with two different dlls at the same time.
Which is part of an answer to your original Q. What if One dll asks for 
"Native" while a second one asks for "builtin"? you see my point.
(If you do not have Source Code for the OCX you will have to HEX patch 
the OCX's import table. Not very easy to do)
