Yes, I think OpenCL.dll and the OpenCL driver are installed at the same
time (when the user runs the OpenCL driver installer). 

OpenCL.lib, however, is part of the SDK and is needed to compile an
OpenCL app. I am not sure if the volunteers should have the SDK
installed on their computer if they want to run an OpenCL app. Hopefully
not.

I think the OpenCL libraries are supposed to be included with the driver
install (Nvidia) or Stream SDK (ATI) and not the project applications.
I'm not sure you'll even be able to statically link it.  It'll just be
another system library like kernel32.dll.

OpenCL.DLL is supposed to be installed in the Windows system directory
and is more than likely specific to a driver.

?? these libraries would be included with the app,
either by static linking or by bundling them.
Let's not get things confused.
