Title: Make library-loading more robust and provide better errors

Apropos of the recent discussion on the email list, this commit:
(a) Adds better search-paths for windows (sort of -- could be enhanced)
(b) Provides simpler-to-understand error reporting
and most importantly,
(c) Differentiates in the error messages between absent libraries, and libraries that could not be loaded due to errors.
