Try LoadLibrary and FreeLibrary.  I believe they'll give you the
behavior that you're after.

From the Platform SDK documentation: "The FreeLibrary function
decrements the reference count of the loaded dynamic-link library
(DLL) module. When the reference count reaches zero, the module is
unmapped from the address space of the calling process and the
handle is no longer valid."
