Removing the LoadLibrary method on the dll loaders probably was
not a good idea.  Beside Michele complaining about it someone submitted
a bug report that LoadLibrary does not work any longer:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=532154&aid=1435103&group_id=71702

The problem is that now cdll or windll will try to load a library named 'LoadLibrary'.
Maybe it would be a good idea to add a method to the library loaders named
'load_library' and add an alias 'LoadLibrary' for backwards compatibility.
