The problem with a "third party packager's guide" is that it would have
to be written by a third party who understands the whole deal.  I'm not
aware of anyone actually trying to do this right.

OTOH, perhaps I'm oversimplifying things, but it seems like this thread
went on for quite a while after the simple "delete the nonstandard DLL"
advice was given.  I don't see how any advice is going to be useful if
it isn't followed.
