Re: [Monotone-devel] Monotone windows release 0.44....

zlib most definitely is used, but it might not be that copy of it
that's getting used.  libpcrecpp-0.dll and libpcreposix-0.dll, on the
other hand, are definitely *not* needed.  We don't play tricks with
LoadLibrary as far as I know.

For reference, this is the set of libraries required in an
as-dynamically-linked-as-possible Linux build:

$ objdump --private-headers /usr/bin/mtn | grep NEEDED
  NEEDED               libpcre.so.3
  NEEDED               libbotan-1.8.2.so
  NEEDED               liblua5.1.so.0
  NEEDED               libsqlite3.so.0
  NEEDED               libidn.so.11
  NEEDED               libz.so.1
  NEEDED               libstdc++.so.6
  NEEDED               libm.so.6
  NEEDED               libgcc_s.so.1
  NEEDED               libc.so.6
