Windows and Mac OS X both use the path of the executable for finding  
other dlls, but not the path of each dll that is loaded (that could be  
a lot of paths).  I think GNU/Linux might do the same, I don't  
remember off the top of my head, but you so rarely encounter this on  
GNU/Linux since you're almost always installing dlls in the path (/usr/ 
lib, /usr/local/lib).

With the Mac version of readanysf~, the libraries are loaded from a  
statically defined path (/Library/Pd/readanysf~).  So to make an  
easily deployable readanysf~ for Windows, this issue will have to be  
sorted out.
