Thanks Markus, this was very useful information which I will benefit 
from from now on! Unfortunately, it didn't actually help the process to 
find the DLL files but doing:
$ PATH=$PATH:/path/to/myDLLS foo
does work. I guess LD_LIBRARY_PATH cannot be used for what I was trying 
to do. Oh, btw, to those who mail me copies of mails sent to the list. 
It's not necessary, I'm interacting with the list through gmane, set-up 
as a newsgroup under my email-client. :)
