The "native" APIs are system libraries (e.g. DLLs on Windows) and it's a
responsibility of the system to locate and load them when the QTJava code refers
to them by their image name (for example "QTJavaNative.DLL").

The Windows OS searches first in the folder where your executable resides, then
in the Windows folder (and windows system [or system32 on WinNT/2000/XP] folder)
and then on all folders listed in the PATH environment variable

The programmer shouldn't need to say where the QT DLLs are, they're installed in
the Windows system folder. Similarly on the Mac they're in the "System" folder
at the "Extenstions" subfolder I believe
