Follow-up Comment #1:

Thank you for reporting this feature request. I'm not sure I fully understand
dynamic linking on Windows systems, so I can't contribute much to adding this
capability. My understanding is that Windows loads dlls from the executable
path by default. So if you run a problem in a directory, dlls are searched in
that directory, correct? Are they also searched for in the complete PATH
environment variable (similarly to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable on GNU
systems)? Would using setenv("PATH",dir) in Octave be a workaround for this?

If not then please suggest what mechanism would be used on Windows to ensure
that the directory containing the .mex file (and probably .oct files as well)
gets added to a dynamic load search path.
