If a library (dll) that your executable is linked against is not
found, the executable cannot be run.

You're trying to specify the library path after it has already tried
to load the library.

The way that gaim's loader works is that the initial executable is a
small application that is linked only with System Libraries - it then
sets up the appropriate path and dynamically loads a (gtk+ dependent)
dll containing the bulk of the application.
