Is it possible to load just about any DLL an execute one of it's function knowing it's prototype ?

I'm doing an interpreter that get it's functions from libraries.  These function are taken from the librairies at run-time.  I tough DLL would be fine.  The only problem is that I don't know before run-time wich libraries I need, nor the name of the functions in those librairies.

Knowing the prototype of a function, can I go in the DLL, load it in memory an execute it ?
