Both could be made to work for Windows specific modules, but I'd
rather not have to depend on this, e.g. when developing generic
packages that are not Windows specific.  (For our own app development
I use specialised loaders to properly load our modules anyway, no need
for such specific Windows calls in that case.)

Do you mean without the GetModuleXXX calls above?  How so?
