You do not specify a DLL directly when linking. The actual DLL gets
linked to and loaded dynamically at program execution. When
building your program, you should specify either an import lib
or a .def file to identify the DLL's exports. You can create an
import lib from the DLL by running the implib utility against it.
Typically, the import lib for a dll has the same filename as the dll
but with a .lib extension.
