Thanks for the information. I'll add links and update the list.

The dll backend can either load other backends dynamically (on demand)
or all the backends are linked into sane-dll (preloading).

Last but not least sane-dll can be linked statically to the frontends
(inclusing all the preloaded backends).

That's shared but not dynamic.
