Some other libraries which are built as DLLs are not providing this 
functionality (e.g. libtiff).  It does not appear to be required.

At one time, this feature was not provided yet the software still 
worked.

It seems like modern Windows has ways to do this automatically (by 
imposing more work on the developer), but some automation is disabled 
if the DLL is in the same directory as the app.
