It's an old trick with other IDE's. :-)

AFAICT using a dll's in Rev requires implicity loading (intializing them)
and then unloading them (from samples of externals I've seen, though I could
be wrong here). However generally, all things being equal, Windows will
unload the dll when it is no longer being used. So.... The best way to
arrive at the correct solution here is to give it a try and see if you get
any Windows error messages doing it.
