Thanks. I already familiar with windows dlls (unfortunately?). I've
made all those things you have mentioned (besides "shared") (I can
sent you a source code, if you are interested). The problem is, that
the Singleton library is header-only library, and stores singleton
manager(s) in static function variable(s). And when those code inlined
into several different dlls,it  results independent static variables
in different modules (although is same code), which, in its turn,
results multiple singleton instances.
