`hDLL` is a static variable scoped inside `hDLL`, so it easy to see all places
it is used in. They are all about doing `GetProcAddress` for the exported
functions in `mlib_image`. This is following a pattern from how we've handled
static/dynamic duality elsewhere in the JDK. What we're really after in the
`hDLL` variable is getting a handle to something that can look up e.g.
"j2d_mlib_ImageCreate". For a dynamic build, that is a DLL, but for a static
build, it is the executable.
