The DLLs were only in the additional libraries, which I haven't seen anyone
using to any great degree anyway.  Edna Dornblazer's DOS patch works around
the lack of DLLs on that platform quite neatly while preserving the 
functionality, if not the syntax, of the provided "plugins", but I believe 
that functionality will not be present in 3.5.  All of the rest of the 
isosurface stuff should be, though, as I understand it.
