If it is not using the DLLs next to exe then it would be considered a
security violation as a DLL injection attack.
This is why nothing should ever be written to the /bin directory after install.
DLL's in arbitrary paths should not be executed.

That explained why CAM exists.
Some actual examples would be helpful in it.

From reading the various links from there I'd expect the GUI cam filed
to be a job script to run,
not the name of a file that contradicts what the top of the dialog
shows for the path.
At the vary least overwrite the path the dialog shows when the cam
filed is filled in.
Just seems like a confusing way to rename a file at the moment to me,
as on Windows that is all I'm seeing it do.
 
For files that have no layers like BOM and XY I still find the
behavior I'm seeing odd.
