And what if "dllname.c" is the source of "dllname.dll" as it much
more likely happens in peoples' projects?

Then your patch would load both the dll and its source, causing
strange behavior that people cannot explain, due to a side-effect
from a "feature" that isn't documented anywhere.

As to the other part - searching ".c" as library:  If you think
that is useful then why is it for windows users only?  And how are
people supposed to benefit if it is not documented?

Fine, great.  But do we really need this in everybody's public
"mob" version? :P
