You've forcibly replaced the static library with the DLL here. You're
better off defining the right compiler+preprocessor directives to ensure
that it is automatically selected. That way you'll ensure that the code
in the main EXE is compatible with that in the DLL.

Unfortunately, I can't remember what the required settings are at the
moment.
