Yes, i'd agree to this... ;o) If you try to load a library by yourself,
you will have to know what you're doing. If the DLL is linked to the
executable, you have no (easy) way to influence what is done by the
loader...

Of course there may still be problems if there are dependencies between
plugins, that are installed in different directories, since loading one
plugin will load all libraries this dll is linked to. If those are
plugins themselves, they will have to be in PATH to be found (or in the
same directory, etc.). The easiest solution is using parity ;) but thats
self-advertisement again, sorry...

Cheers, Markus
