OK.  So my pointer only answered part of the question.  You'll have to 
forgive me but I didn't know what ldconfig did so I couldn't expound further.
Let me say this.  Windows has DLLs, not shared libraries.  So unless ldconfig
understands DLLs, it won't be much help to you (or your porting effort will
be significant! ;-) )

HTH,
