Yes we will probably need to follow this route - I would love to  
include these dll's by default but it looks like we may run into legal  
troubles if we do. We can try to one by one approach vendors and seek  
permission to include there dll's in out binary bundles - though I  
suspect this is not very GPL friendly so we may run into problems  
there...
