We could use the LoadLibrary to detect if normaliz.dll is installed, load it and call the desired functions. However I fear a little bit the performance impact here. As host resolution can be a bottleneck, especially when an app is doing a lot of different requests. Maybe we can do it for the mingw builds only?
