I'm not sure what the right answer is there. However, in both releases, the
library needs to reside in a particular location, so I'm not sure that we've
regressed (?). Maybe the current, expected location isn't ideal and we need
to change that.

The underlying problem is that we don't have a "configure" step on Windows
(and never did). What should we do instead?

Unblocking the 0.22 release seemed a bit more important than introducing a
new concept into the Windows build...
