"The specified module could not be found" clearly indicates that
"Python found the module"???

I suggest a more descriptive and (Monty) Pythonic error message: "I
found a foo.pyd which looks like a DLL but it contains no 'initfoo'
entrypoint therefore I throw an ImportError and a bucketful of pig
slops in your general direction."
