You can use objdump:

  objdump -p *.exe *.dll | fgrep "DLL Name:" | gawk " {print $3, $4, $5}" | 
sort -u

Keep adding DLLs and running the above command until all the DLLs it
shows are in your staging directory.

Usually, such radical features start as optional, but maybe we will
decide otherwise.

Why does it matter?
