[Mono-winforms-list] patches for Win32 API libraries

[Vlad Kaluzhny]

Hi Mike.

There is nothing wrong to use standard DllMain entry point.
But, please,  take a look  on source codes of wine dlls.

Only few libraries have this name as entry point.
Rest have other names ( "UserClientDllInitialize" for user32.dll,
"MAIN_KernelInit" for kernel.dll and so one).
in order to unify this I have decided to use InitDllMain name.
I guess this is supposed to be.
Since this is not for the Windows OS, we are able to use
any entry point name. But  anyway, they must  all be as identical.

With Best Regards, Vlad
