Hi, for what are these files?

backtrace.dll
liviconv2.dll
livintl3.dll
nedmalloc.dll
names.h

Are used in any form by the main executables?

The first one is loaded dynamically by eduke32.debug.exe and contains some code to dump the stack to a crashlog file. The two after that are just dependencies of the first one due to some internalization functions that it uses; Helixhorned sent me a patch to stub out the code that depends on that so that we could get git of them but since I'm a lazy fuck I haven't even looked at it yet.
The fourth DLL is an alternate memory allocator called nedmalloc that EDuke32 tries to load at runtime; it's supposed to be faster than the libc one.
names.h is just a bunch of names to tile number mappings; the editor reads it for user-friendliness.

The bottomline is that none of these are strictly required, you will still be able to use EDuke32 if they're not present.
