I'm probably the only one that would see any benefit, and only as long as 
dlloader is not the default.  The ability for me to load (but not run) 
drivers that can't possibly work on my hardware allows me to at least 
sanity-check the drivers to make sure they load.

But I'm certainly not going to insist on it, and at any rate wsfb looks 
dlloader-clean.

Fair enough.  Merge away.
