[racket] Windows FFI Problem

Does this work if you place the .DLL in the same directory as the Racket
executable?

What if it's placed in your System32 folder?

If you need to put the library in a nonstandard path (I think putting
the .dll in the same folder as the .rkt script is nonstandard), try
registering the DLL. See
