Yes; either the Debug build or the Release build was writing the
file directly to the test directory.

And I recall this used to be necessary, because several of the
programs were built against the DLL's (IIRC, the test/editor demo
used to fail to run because the DLL wasn't in the same dir). I'd
used to see these errors myself, and we all knew to copy in the
DLL.

Eventually someone set it up to install the DLL in the test dir,
but then perhaps backed it out after changing the test programs
to all build static, but forgot to change either Debug or Release.

I wasn't sure what the history was, so I just set it up to copy
the dll (instead of write it direct) in both Release and Debug cases
to preserve that intention, as that definitely used to be the case.

If it's the case the test programs are all static, then it sounds
like we don't have any tests for the DLL libs.. and maybe we should.
(eg. 'test-dll' or some such?) In which case you'd need the dll's in
the test dir for that test to work.
