If it is a DLL then you distribute it.
You can, however, change your code (_dllexport, et al) to be regular
functions, create an OBJ instead of a DLL, and link them into your
app.  If you have very many, you can put the multiple OBJs into a LIB
(use TLIB) and link the LIB.
But, as long as the DLL is a DLL, whether you use LoadLibrary, or let
the loader load it automaticly, you must give it to the user.
