LibVLCSharp.Forms: System.DllNotFoundException: libvlc

Hi There!

I'm trying to use the LibVLCSharp.Forms in my project but got a System.DllNotFoundException when the application starts. Following the stack trace:

System.DllNotFoundException: libvlc at at (wrapper managed-to-native) LibVLCSharp.Shared.LibVLC+Native.LibVLCNew(int,intptr[]) at LibVLCSharp.Shared.LibVLC+<>c__DisplayClass12_0.<.ctor>b__0 ()

By the way, I had to come back to version LibVLCSharp.Forms.0.0.1-alpha instead of 0.0.1-alpha1 because I got an odd operational system exception and could not debug the program. But maybe this is another issue ;)

Thanks a lot.
