I believe this technique is used by the Valve anti-cheat system included
in Half-life, but the code for this program is not available obviously.
However, this technique is also employed by programs designed to subvert
this anti-cheat system, including programs such as the one called
``OGC.''  (ogc-cheats.com) Certain versions of this program were
released under the GPL, although you might have trouble finding the
source code.  However, I believe this and related programs may be the
best source of information on loading DLLs without calling
LoadLibrary.

Additionally, the following articles might be of some use; if I find
any others, I will let you know.
