In this case, it simply means that your DLL will get loaded when any
message is sent to a window procedure in the target thread. You can be
reasonably sure this will happen very often and it's not critical exactly when
your DLL gets loaded. In other cases, it might take sending a private message
to the thread to insure that the hook DLL gets loaded when it's needed.
