Good comments Mike, well deserving of a reply.

Modular programming really has nothing to do with DLL's per se.  The concept
applies whether it's your code or someone elses, whether you are calling
into a DLL or a module you wrote.  Modules can be loose or tight.  You may
have a bunch of loosely related functions you wrote on a day and made a 
module out of them, or you could be defining a very precise API to solve
a very specific problem.  Someone should probably post a good reading list
on the subject.  My library, isn't what it was or I'd do it.
