Maybe should create that function at the level of the compiler or linker?

There is no good solution for this problem. I was working on this for DWT and you somehow always need to have a manifest file. The problem is that windows doesn't load the correct dll and that's what the manifest file is for. You can look at the bottom of http://hg.dsource.org/projects/dwt-win/file/210994f12c4c/README.txt for a couple of options. If I remember correctly DFL creates a manifest file at runtime and then loads it.
