Or any program that uses a file-open/file-save dialog, because that's a
shell dialog. And TSVN is a shell extension, which means the shell will
load TSVN automatically before showing those dialogs.

You don't understand: shell32.dll loads all shell extensions, but your
applications load shell32.dll. And therefore your apps also load the
TSVN shell extension via shell32.dll.

And I have no idea how dynamic linking would change anything here. The
tsvn dll *is* linked dynamically, and the *.so files are loaded
dynamically too.

Now, you've done some analyzing and found that some dll's/files that
TSVN ships with are loaded in apps which you haven't expected. But what
exactly is your problem here?
