Yep - you got it :-) The initialization interface (WWWInit) is _not_ a DLL 
as it is really a part of the application ans as you say it includes the 
whole library - even if the application doesn't use it. Therefore, you can 
do two things - either you can call the initialization functions (HT*Init()) 
directly or if you like to customize the initialization - you can copy the 
contents of these files and modify it to fit your needs.
