Because then you can search both:

#ifdef __WIN32__

    HINSTANCE hi;

    /* search the default places, includes %PATH and current directory */

    hi = LoadLibrary("FCONFMVC.DLL");

    if (hi == NULL)
    {
        /*
         *  couldn't find the DLL, so search for it in the FIDOCONFIG
         *  directory.
         */

        char tmp[300];

        GetEnvironmentVariable("FIDOCONFIG", tmp, sizeof tmp);
        strip_filename(tmp);
        strcat(tmp, "FCONFMVC.DLL");

        hi = LoadLibrary(tmp);
    }

    if (hi == NULL)
    {
        /* use GetLastError() to print an error then exit */
        return;
    }

    atexit(unloaddlls);

    /* use the library */

    /* ... */

#endif
