That's why you'd need to move all stuff possibly needed by modules into a dll. I've recently stumped into a nice piece of software, EDLL <http://edll.sourceforge.net/> (untested by me so far) that resolves reverse dependencies load-time in a platform-independent manner (provided some backend for that platform is available, of course). It also supports windows' dlls. There's also a FlexDLL tool <http://alain.frisch.fr/flexdll.html> that supposedly does something simlar. I realize it's yet another piece of code to be put in between, and something no one will probably build and distribute widely enough. Again, my 2c (or so). p. Ing.
