Create another Unit - call it MSupport.pas

Let that unit Use Windows.pas and anything else it feels like

Then you replace Windows in the AX Library's uses list with MSupport

In the AX Library code you can use:

MSupport.LoadLibrary which just calls Windows.LoadLibrary

There are other methods, but I reckon that this one is the easiest for
you to implement and most important, support in the long run.

I'm /not/ going to suggest that you group your 'sensitive' routines at
the bottom of the AX Library's code, following another Uses clause

Nor am I going to suggest that you copy the required DLL declarations
from Windows.pas and duplicate them (Delphi does do a bit of that, but
IMO it is dirty and unnecessary)
