You have to register the DLL as a cfx custom tag in the ColdFusion
Adminsitrator.

In CF 5 it's in the left-side menu under Server > Extensions > CFX Tags

Then press the button labelled "register c++ cfx", provide a name for the
tag in the form on the following page, enter the path to the dll and press
the "submit changes" button.

At that point, you make your library calls with the tag name you registered,
i.e. <cfx_mylibrary ...> I'm not certain, but I think the dll has to comply
to COM for this to work -- which is unfortunate since MS has recently
deprecated COM in favor of dot-net.
