Actually I checked the documentation, and it's documented
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms679295%28v=vs.85%29.aspx>
what the behavior is.  When attaching to a process, the system will
automatically send a load dll event for every currently loaded dll in the
process.  So the same code that works for creating processes will also be
able to populate the initial DLL set when attaching as well.
