As far as I know, Cygwin1.dll cannot be loaded dynamically using
loadlibrary, dlopen, etc.  This has been the behavior for quite some
time and it's not considered a bug.  If anyone wants this functionality
I'm sure patches would be welcomed, but that aside I don't think there
are any plans to support this.
