This will work but I hoped there would be a way to do it without
creating an extra layer between Java and the DLL. I actually found a
package called xFunction that is similar to JNA and actually allows me
to define native modules with "@", something like

xFunction func = new xFunction("my_dll_library", "int _func@0(int)");

and execute it

int rc = ((Integer) func.invoke(1)).intValue();

so, apparently, there is a way. I hoped that there might be something
as simple as the syntax I am not aware of.
