Good change to loading behavior.
Is there perhaps also a way to disable loading the dll from the same directory as the executable?
So, behavior would be that all DLLs must be loaded from a single PATH specified directory.

thanks, Scott

Normally, a user would not build in the MKL bin directory, where the DLLs are installed. Nor is there a need to install copies of these DLLs elsewhere on a machine on which MKL is installed. Therefore, all you have to do is to refrain from copying the MKL DLLs into the directory where your executable exists.
