Comment:

 Could we somehow abuse the delay load DLL functionality with a custom
 delay load helper function?
 Or, we could do something similar to what MinGW (If I recall correctly)
 does in order to be able to process dynamically loaded data relocations

 That seems like a really large hammer though. :(
