This is a test program and since it is built from sources, I'd like it
to go wherever it normally goes depending on the build configuration.
In addition, I want to copy a DLL, from whatever directory it is
output when built, to the executable directory, all depending on the
build configuration.

The install rule is different, I really don't want to install the
program and I don't want the DLL to be auto-loaded (it's looked up and
loaded manually.)
