I've asked about this on perlmonks, too (where it's really quite OT):
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=960506

In response to that post BrowserUk also raised the possibility of using 
manifests ... which only served to send me scurrying for the nearest 
sandpile into which I could bury my head ;-)

Having posted there, it then occurred to me that I could frame the question 
in such a way that it wasn't OT here ... which is what I then proceeded to 
do. (I don't usually go posting willy-nilly all over the place.)

If it *can* be done using manifests, then I think that's *the* solution to 
use. (I do have a 64-bit version of mt.exe, if that's any use. So far, all 
I've really ascertained is that none of these dll files have a resource 
section. As regards manifest files themselves, I still haven't really got 
past the "Huh ?" stage.)

Cheers,
Rob
