I was under the impression that it was one of those things of SVN
attempting to load all extensions (with no preconceived notions of which
ones exist and which ones don't). Right?

On Windows, LoadLibrary will search all directories in PATH, the
current working directory, and the directory where the executable is
located looking for a library if no path is specified, so they don't
necessarily have to be in any given directory to be loaded. This is
the "recommended" way to search for a library on Windows, you ask the
OS to load it. If it fails, it doesn't exist, or just can't be found.

Right... That's what I assume as well... But at the same time, that's
exactly what Cyrus-SASL does, but he reads its "plugins" directory first,
and then issues a "dlopen()" then on each file it finds over in that
directory...
My code should better check for errors :) that's for sure, but at the same
time, they shouldn't be trying to load libraries randomly if the files do
not exist :) :) :)
