how to add DLL to a NB Platform Library Module

Greetings,

I've been trying for the past couple of days to add a native library
to a Library Module for the NetBeans 5.5 Platform.  The situation
seems to me like something that would be encountered often: I
have a third-party .jar file that comes with its own .DLL for use on
windows machines.  I can wrap the .jar in a Library Module with a
few mouse clicks as described in the documentation, but no
matter where I put the .DLL, regardless of adding <include ...>
statements to common.xml, the .DLL just doesn't get found by
the target platform.  Could anyone please explain why this is such
a pain?  Will this get fixed in NB 6?

Thanks,
