More programs would share DLL if it wasn't asking for trouble like it is
currently. Just take MFC or OWL as an example... Quite a few progams use
one or the other, both Microsoft and Borland ship them as DLLs, but most
programs either install their own private copy or get linked statically to
avoid all the trouble that mismatching versions, etc. cause when
sharing DLLs (or at least attempting to).

Anyways...
