Yes, as long as you add a __declspec(dllimport) to the function declaration
and also link in the appropriate import library.
Oh, you will also need an 'extern "C"' to prevent name mangling afaik.
Boost for example manually declares and imports all the Windows APIs it
uses unless you define BOOST_USE_WINDOWS_H. If you want to check out what
they're doing as a confirmation what you're doing is correct I believe
their wrappers are in boost/detail/win.
