That ranks right up there with 

A) 4 months later finding 12 copies of that DLL in various 
directories

B) Trying to figure out which one of the 2000 DLLs sitting in my 
windows directory and eating up 150MB of dis space I can safely delete.

If anybody does implement a shared library approach please have a 
way of registering use count when different programs install (or something)
