It's against the rules to put shared libraries (or very much at all in
fact) in {sys}. All files should go in {app} where possible. This is
to avoid upgraded libraries breaking existing installations.
The exceptions from the msi installer are:
secur32.dll for win9x installs - this is a microsoft system DLL
anyway... make sure it's version checked.
setuid.dll - because you can't run it from anywhere else (it loads at
system startup).
Both of these have no other dependencies except the standard system dlls.
