IMHO that's actually the _only_ sane way on windows to deploy DLLs. The
other option you have is to put them in %SYSTEM32% or whatever environment
variable it was on that platform. But once you start to drop DLLs _outside_
your App's install directory, you _can't_ simply move the installation directory
somewhere else (read: another computer).

Hope that helps,
