minject:
Injects the mimalloc dll into the import table of a 64-bit executable,
and/or ensures that it comes first in het import table.
usage:
> minject [options] <exe>
options:
-h --help show this help
-v --verbose be verbose
-l --list only list imported modules
-i --inplace update the exe in-place (make sure there is a backup!)
-f --force always overwrite without prompting
--postfix=<p> use <p> as a postfix to the mimalloc dll (default is 'override')
e.g. use --postfix=override-debug to link with mimalloc-override-debug.dll

Without '--inplace' an injected <exe> is generated with the same name ending in '-mi'.
Ensure 'mimalloc-redirect.dll' is in the same folder as the mimalloc dll.
examples:
> minject --list myprogram.exe
> minject --force --inplace myprogram.exe
```
