Thanks, I think I already tried that approach
ie. my solr config included the lib directive <lib dir="../contrib/updatehandler/lib" regex=".*\.jar" /> and i placed the azure jar in the same "lib" directory as the custom updatehandler (../contrib/updatehandler/lib) so I expect the rather liberal wildcard regex would pick it up.
