Actuall wine implements that feature, but it doesn't help because
calling LoadString(GetModuleHandle(NULL)...) doesn't work either. 
What I'll end up doing is saving   a global hhctrl hinstance in
DllMain and using that, though it confuses me why
GetModuleHandle(NULL) doesn't work.  Maybe that only returns the
hinstance of the process calling the module, and not the hinstance of
the module itself.
