OK.

I stepped back from the whole thing to see the bigger view, took a
couple of deep breaths, and decided maybe I was going about this all
wrong.

I created a new project, imported my existing code, and everything
works fine now.

I looked at the differences and found that BCCB creates a main
procedure named DLLEntryPoint() instead of DLLMain(), so my first
thought is that DLLMain() was eating the PROCESS_ATTACH messages. I
got rid of DLLMain() and things were still functional, so I got brave
and got rid of DLLEntryPoint also. Things are still functional.

I realize that Microsoft's and Borland's documentation say that the
functions are optional entry points into the DLL, but I never tried to
build a DLL without either one of them before. Seems to make no
difference. The fact that my code works even with the original DLLMain()
function in place seems to point to a corrupted project and I'm
content to let it lie at that.

I now have a BCCB functional stub consisting of a project file, a
header file, and a c file which I can either post here if the
moderators don't mind a zip attachment, or make available some other
way as a starter for anyone else who wants to create a plugin using
Borland C++ Builder.
