It seems MS announced three new functions yesterday:
SetDefaultDllDirectories
AddDllDirectory
RemoveDllDirectory
These are "to help developers correctly and securely load external
libraries". [1]
I remember some talk about SetDllDirectory() in the past [2], so now it's
interesting how these two ways would coexist.
Plus, could the new way help to simplify loading Gecko / XPCOM [3] by a
chance? Probably not:)
