[Scons-users] Problem with DLL dependencies on Windows

[Dmitry Mikhin]

Hello Dirk,

I confirm that the second of these approaches indeed works (not only
in the little test project, but in the main, large-scale case):

The first approach would obviously work as well, but it is too manual,
which is precisely what we're trying to avoid (and also more verbose).

The remaining question now is: whether the suggested behavior shall be
the default?

Many thanks for looking into the problem.
