PDB = Program DataBase
No.  PDB files contain debug information.  It is a lot harder to debug a 
release build though due to compiler optimizations but the IDE still 
makes a pretty good go of it.

Anyway, please use Dependency Walker:

http://www.dependencywalker.com/

Load your release build EXE using that tool.  The first level of the 
drill-down in the upper-left shows you what DLLs are needed to run the 
program.  That's the information we need.
