I think the original problem we had with the AddDllDirectory approach was that 
once set, it seems to mitigate searching the os.environ['PATH'] for dll 
loading. Is that accurate? Would RemoveDllDirectory restore the ability to find 
DLLs along the system PATH?

Right, so far we are discussing the easier problem of adding search paths, not 
their order. This does become an issue for users who modify their system path 
in order to overcome the first problem, and end up pulling in the wrong version 
of a support DLL.
