Usage of `LibraryImport` instead of `DllImport` #420

It might be useful to use the LibraryImport-Generator instead of the DllImportAttribute.

I think you'll notice in the final section the differences with DllImport. This is a Windows-only interop library and regularly uses the "A and W" conversions supported by DllImport. For some exported methods, there may be value in debugging, but I think it deserves some testing to even see if dropping into unmanaged DLLs that don't have debugging files tied to them is even possible.
