I wrote a replacement for rundll some time back (2008, wow! and last updated 
in 2017) that requires the user to specify data types. It can call any 
function in any standard dll, and can do some things that rundll can't (or 
perhaps won't), but it can't return anything back from the called function. 
Useful for certain things in batch files. Shrug.
