Embedd DLL into executable

To ease deployment, I'd like to embedd a DLL with my executable as a resource.

I figure I could always dump the dll-resource to a temp file, and then load the temp file as a DLL, but is there a way I can skip this step? I.e. load the embedded DLL directly? (or: how is LoadLibrary implemented?)
