I'm a little bit amused by your very polite "as you know" statement,
because I strongly suspect that no one on this list DID know it. I'm
deeply into Windows -- I write Windows drivers for a living -- and I did
not know this had changed.
What is the new way? MSDN doesn't mention any replacement.

Any Windows DLL that does not already have a win32 wrapper can be called
using ctypes. It's a little bit tedious, but it's incredibly flexible.
