It will make life harder for you - why not just keep it in a different
directory?  Many apps install shared-DLLs for themselves in this way - eg,
its not uncommon to find specific versions of "msvcrt.dll" in an
applications directory even though one obviously also exists in the system
directory.

There is a string resource in the DLL that holds the key.  The default
value is "1.6".  You can change this value without recompiling.

Use the source, Luke!
