I agree, I think this is the better call. As mentioned above, the current guesstimate of the python DLL name would be wrong on mingw, so I'd rather have a spurious error message than exiting altogether.

(Also, I wonder if there's some way one can learn the actual python library name through the CMake FindPython scripts, rather than having to guess it; guessing it seems brittle. E.g. if we manage to switch over to the Python stable API, it can be just `python3.dll` instead of `python312.dll`.)
