This is "by design", not a limitation. The idea is that DLLs should be
self-containing and not require that the loading executable/module defines
certain symbols. This is why import libraries are used; to make sure all
symbols are resolved at link-time. As a result, Windows DLLs are not
allowed to contain unresolved symbols.

A much cleaner design, IMHO.
