Just an idea, but for a DXE couldn't you have the "one function" return 
pointers to other functions in the DXE? I haven't tried this, so it may 
be poppycock, but it would seem to me that since the DXE would have to be 
somewhat static to be loaded in memory... your "one DXE function" could 
accept parameters and return pointers to other functions... or your DXE 
return value could be a block of pointers to functions. I'll try it, if I 
can, and let you know what I find out (if you don't try it yourself first.)
