Description
After updating to `v2.1.7`, `mimalloc-redirect.dll` requires `mimalloc-override.dll`. While this is consistent with readme instruction, the names of the DLL objects after compiling are still `mimalloc.dll` and `mimalloc-redirect.dll` inside the build folder, which requires me to rename `mimalloc.dll` to `mimalloc-override.dll` manually. So either change back the `mimalloc-redirect.dll` linking to `mimalloc.dll`, or change `mimalloc.dll` output to `mimalloc-override.dll`.
