+          # The VS generator is multi-config and places build outputs under bin/<CONFIG>/
+          # (e.g. bin/Release/). Ninja is single-config and places outputs directly under bin/.
+          #
+          # master's test/CMakeLists.txt still contains hardcoded bin/$<CONFIG>/ paths in its

+          # static loader) will fail to find the DLLs.
+          #
+          # This junction makes bin/Release/ point to bin/ so the old hardcoded paths resolve
+          # correctly. Once the fix is on master, Ninja will place DLLs in bin/ and the CTest
