That would help, yes. But still not solve the problem: sasl would still
search the plugins in all the registered paths.

And since SASL is for authentication, I don't like the idea that even if
everything goes right with the installation/dll-loading, some other apps
could overwrite some SASL dlls with maybe insecure versions and my app
would then use those. That's also why OpenSSL recommends to not use it
as a dll but link it statically.
