Oh and yes: "Dependency Walker" (depends.exe) is your best friend: pay extra attention to the dependencies of each plugin, especially the platform plugins.

Also keep in mind that certain "optional dependencies" might only be triggered when you execute certain operations, e.g. connecting via HTTPS (-> the required "OpenSLL.dll" library and more will be pulled in - see other discussion about "libeasy.dll"(?). So make sure to also "profile" your app with depends.exe, in case you do networking or other "cryptographic stuff".

Cheers,
