As I had a few minutes to spare and found this topic interesting I did
what Sergey suggested above, and found that if the test application is
compiled with -mno-cygwin then the LoadLibrary call never returns.

So unless you want to investigate further _why_ LoadLibrary behaves this
way you have 2 options:

1) Use the -mno-cygwin flag when building your .dll, this way you get a
native win32 .dll. This of course also means that you won't have
access to any of the POSIX emulation API provided by cygwin.

2) Use a cygwin-compiled version of vim (e.g. the one available via the
cygwin-installer)
