Yes, I believe that is correct.  They are searched for in the PATH
environment variable.  In my cygwin packages (which I haven't played
with in ages...) I added the mp codec directory to the PATH.

I think it'll be fine as long as the specific semantics of LoadLibrary
are understood for the platform.  For example, if what I said above is
wrong on mingw, then change the PATH ifdef cygwin, but not for mingw.
Or add the full path to the filename for mingw but not cygwin.  I've not
tested mingw stuff yet, so I can't say how it'll work.  But I think we
can figure it out without too much fuss.
