If it is so easy, why is there no MSVC build? Why hasn't whoever made
this thing checked in their build files?
On the premise that it is so easy, I will try to do it. If it doesn't
work, then I'm going to be annoyed, and we'll be back to the Windows
standardization discussion. I will find it most ironic if the easy way
to build it existed all along, but due to lack of communication and lack
of a standard, people like myself were misled to do it the hard, painful
Cygwin way!
