GetProcAddress on a library loaded at run time failed with
ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND when the export forwarded to a library nobody had
loaded yet: the loader brought in forwarder targets for imports, but the
lookup did not. It now loads the target through the same path as
LoadLibrary and goes on, as Windows does, trying each library once; a
forwarder to a library that is not there still finds nothing, with
ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND. Programs that look up ICU through icuuc.dll and
icuin.dll, which forward to icu.dll, rely on it.
