I'm probably missing something really obvious here.  I have a program
which requires a DLL to go along with it.   I'd like to have them named
the same (e.g. XYZPROG.EXE and XYZPROG.DLL).  The problem is that when
I try to declare an import function from the DLL in the DEF for the EXE,
link complains about a "self-import," thinking the EXE is trying to import
from itself.

I'd really prefer not to have to import the functions explicitly.  Is
there some simple way around this problem?  Thanks in advance.
