I see two ways of doing it:
- either use a function pointer to ReleaseThunkLock & RestoreThunkLock 
which will be initialized if mmsystem is loaded (as we do for most of 
the 16 bit functions we need)
- or load by hand these two function with GetProcAddress, and handle the 
case where they are not defined.
I'd vote for the first one.
