> Differentiating DLL and SO hell is getting a bit beyond pedantic (...)
It really isn't. Unlike linking problems, where the problem is focused on how you need to fight your dependencies to be able to resolve symbols, DLL Hell has been for over a decade a dependency resolution problem that is solved at the packaging level.
More importantly, on Windows, where sharing DLLs is not a thing, you can simply drop a DLL in the app dir and be done with it. In fact, it's customary for windows apps to just bundle all their dependencies.
