i think you can pack every file type into a mpq, its like zipping a file and in fact a mpq is the same as a compressed directory structure.

Well you can pack it in there, but it won't do anything while sitting in the MPQ. D2 goes through windows to call dlls can't just directly handle them itself. So it goes by the DLL search in windows. It checks the directory of the executable calling the dll first, then the working/current directory, then the "path" which you can set in autoexec but I don't recommend doing that for distribution... just make a .bat file that handles the dll swaping or such.
