Thanks for the pointer. I had forgotten about this package.

It should in theory work with user-code, but it looks a bit tricky if
you want to debug the DLL itself. From a quick look, one would need to
deal with the export_malloc thing.
I'm planning to spend a bit time this weekend looking into it. Too bad
one can't substitute functions in Win32 DLL on the fly as (easily as)
on ELF.
