The thing is that we probably are not allowed to ignore that message,
because this routine also registers the main thread with the garbage
collector. Without this process, the garbage collector will not be
able to locate data in the running threads. So in short: we cannot get
rid of that DllMain routine, but we can probably fix it as I mentioned
before: imposing our own garbage collection flags before the library
gets initialized.
