No need to mess with SetDLLDirectory, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and relatives.
And indeed there is no package database.

Not sure you got my last point. It was about libraries that are
dynamically linked to other libraries. So libcairo for instance is
linked to libpng and libz. But if you have libcairo, libpng and libz
in separate directories because they're different packages, how would
the dynamic loader know how to load libpng and libz when it tries to
load libcairo? This is out of the control of ffi.load().
