Good point, however, on Linux (which I consider equivalent to MacOSX (I 
even have a slow iMac to try it on)),
the process of compiling won't let the install die, because the 
installer checks if libraries are there and just reports
that a driver is not installed. On Windows, it is different however. I'm 
supplying the driver dll's pre-compiled on Windows,
because on this platform it is less likely that there's a compiler (MSVC).

I'm now thinking an other way. I think it may be a good thing to supply 
a stub dll on windows for the vendor stuff.
As I put the path to the collection library at the end of the current 
PATH environment variable, there will probably
be a good chance that the vendor dll is earlier in the path.
