If this is the case the results of this process are in error because users do
not have the required libraries available to them. Software built with this
package reference DLLs that are not part of a standard Windows installation nor
MinGW. The effect of this is to create a new list of dlls needed to support any
executable built with this package.

That is not the current state of what is happening. I seems to me you either
need to remove all dependencies and reference just what is in a base Windows
installation, reference a project that can provide those referenced DLLs, eg
MinGW, or create a means of distributing those DLLs you reference.
