"Whoever wrote w32_delayed_load" didn't do that, because the already
existing code
that loaded the image libraries didn't do it either. The whoever-dude just
added a
mechanism to allow the user to add new image libraries on their own, which
was
previously impossible because they were hard-coded (if such-and-such-v2
loads, then
good, else if such-and-such-v1 loads, then good too, else oh no!).

I'm not saying that the whoever-dude shouldn't have done what you suggest,
just
that he was fixing other issue and didn't even think of calling
GetLastError.

Bad, bad whoever-dude! ;-)
