Bit more digging...I thought I recognized the dll name from back when I was 
maintaining the FME installers. OCI.dll is one of Oracle's libaries.

IIRC, Oracle's licensing does not permit redistribution of OCI.dll; end-users 
will need to install the Oracle client to satisfy this dependency.

IMO, there shouldn't be any reason for FDO Toolbox to require the Oracle client 
libraries to be installed in order for it to run. You should track down what is 
attempting to pull it in, and delay load it if possible.

Fixed r1258. 

A stock install of FDO Toolbox will still require OCI/libmysql/libpq.dll for 
Oracle/MySQL/PostgreSQL providers to work, but at least now for users who don't 
use such providers, they are not spammed with such error dialogs every time 
they launch FDO Toolbox.
