What about having two versions each, as with the *.a files?

    /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders-x11.exe
    /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders-win32.exe
etc.

And the DLLs have the same name, without some x11/win32 suffix (sort of)?

Where are the immodules located, usr/share/$foo?  Any sense to
create appropriate subdirs x11/win32?  Too complicated?
