If possible, the simplest approach is to put dependent DLLs in the same
directory as the extension module.
In 3.8+, the search path for the dependent DLLs of a normally imported
extension module includes the following directories:
* the loaded extension module's directory
* the application directory (e.g. that of python.exe)
* the user DLL search directories that get added by
SetDllDirectory() and AddDllDirectory(), such as with
os.add_dll_directory()
* %SystemRoot%\System32
Note that the above list does not include the current working directory or
%PATH% directories.

WinAPI LoadLibraryExW() doesn't have an out parameter to get the missing DLL or
procedure name that caused the call to fail. All we have is the error code to
report, such as ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND (126) and ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND (127). Using
a debugger, you can see the name of the missing DLL or procedure if loader
snaps are enabled for the application.
