This is what I was thinking too. Look how often we have to deal with
crappy apps that dump old OpenSSL DLL's into the Windows\System32
folder. I am also thinking of apps like TortoiseSVN and AnkhSVN that
will use the latest Visual Studio to compile everything, and Subclipse
and the command line which still use MSVC 6. We would not want those
DLL's to mix.
