It is *exactly* what we wanted. According to my searches, when b.dll dpends
on a.dll, there is no path hard-coded inside b.dll, where to look for a.dll,
only its base name.

I have linux too, and that option is also off. This works, as linux linker
links the full path to the dependencies, i.e.
ldd .../var/lib/x86_64-linux/auto/Geo/Geos/Geos.so
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x7ffeabe65000)
/home/b/development/crazy-panda/realcraft-geos/meia/var/lib/x86_64-linux/auto/CPP/geos/geos.so

Thank you. Your solution is a bit simplier, than ours idea to localize
"mod2fname",
we'll try it.

It is a bit sad if strawberry-perl devs aren't reacheable via official
mail-list listed on the site.
As this is generic issue on Windows-platform, I think it should be fixed in
via enabling d_libname_unique. It would be nice to hear devs, why not
enable this option.
