Actually at the point of installation this is the best approach especially for multi-config generators like e.g. Visual Studio. Else you'd have to know if a found .lib file is a shared or a static library (how?) and what DLL file it references. That's actually much more work than just looking at the actually dependencies of the binaries. Additionally if you don't exactly know for 3rd party binaries or plugins.

Catching all directories to find the dll files is also not simple but easier.
