That would not be the correct solution to issue 2. Contrary to popular belief 
DllMain is _not_ the first piece of code that is called for a dll (That is, it 
is not the actual dll entry point), that would be DllMainCRTStartup (Or 
something similar, I forgot the exact name). -entry changes the default name of 
the initial loader from DllMainCRTStartup to whatever you specified, NOT the 
DllMain initialization function. Using -entry in this way would royally break 
AWT and make it non-functional. If that doesn't happen, it would mean we are 
monumentally lucky, but it would likely still not work properly
