The second dll by default follows the standard rules for Windows 
loading.  That is it has to be on the environment path (not the 
classpath or the library path the real Windows path).

This implicitly always includes the current directory, that is, the 
directory that the application starts from.  So this may be the easiest 
place to put it if you want some separation.

There are some other choices.  Immediately I can think of these.  You 
could put your directory on the environment path by modifying the 
wrapper code, or you could explicitly load the second dll.
