You could change the INF to only install the release bits.  The kernel drivers 
are generally all release bits, and both debug and release user-mode DLLs are 
installed so that a mix of apps (debug and release) can be run simultaneously.  
The model could be changed so that the SDK installs the debug DLLs to support 
app development and the INF installs just the release bits.

The DLLs are there to provider kernel bypass functionality (mthcau.dll) and 
user-mode support (ibal.dll and complib.dll).  It comes down to whether you 
want to install the kernel bits only with the INF and then require a different 
installation mechanism for the user-mode bits, or whether you install 
everything from the INF.

I didn't realize this.  Is this normal for Windows, or can we adjust the inf
file?  Actually, on that same note, why does installing the driver require a
dll?  (It literally has been years since I've worked on a Windows driver, so I'm
trying to re-learn all of this...)
