PathAllocCombine() is Windows 8+, so sample code that uses it would only be for Python 3.9+.

I'd prefer the function pointer to be returned as an out parameter, and return an HRESULT status as the result. If LoadLibraryExW() or GetProcAddress() fails, map the error code via HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(GetLastError()). And log to stderr instead of exiting with an error() call.
