Gem is dlopen()ing (well LoadLibrary()ing) the plugins manually, so it
doesn't really matter where W32 is looking for them.

yes, this is what the message means.


afaict (googling for "LoadLibrary returns 126") the problem is that the
dependencies of gem_fileAVI.dll cannot be resolved.
use Dependency Walker or simile to find out what is missing.


also, i happily accept PRs for the Gem-wiki [1] detailing the process of
building Gem with msys2.
