DLLs that reference a DLL that is already loaded should not have 
problem loading (e.g. your DLL will also reference kernel32.dll, 
etc). So Scilab's libfftw3-3.dll must be different than yours... 
Hence, you could also resolve the problem by referencing the import 
lib that matches Scilab's libfftw3-3.dll.

Best wishes,

Jasper.
