   Proof, please. "Not recommended" and "explicitly prohibited" - two big differences, you 
know.
   System folder is the only place where a _shared_ (do you remember what word "shared" 
means?..) library with corresponding bitness can be found by windows automatically, 
without ugly hacks.
   Once again: keeping _shared_ library in application folder is not an option.

   If you mean "using well known workarounds", then - no, I can workaround every bug. But 
it will be ugly and fail in well predictable cases.
