Is it really a good idea to includes these DLLs in the default MS4W package?
My fear is that on systems where those DLLs are present, they may have
been updated to a more recent version by Windows Update (or some other
Microsoft software install) and the older MS4W copy of the DLLs would be
used instead. Probably not a huge deal, but that defeats the purpose of
DLLs.
