Yes, decorated ( including C++ mangled ) names can be a pain when
trying to get function addresses using GetProcAddress. However, if you
include a .def file in your project and ensure you have
PovGuiExtensionGetPointers listed in the EXPORTS section you will not
need to worry about decorated names.
