I really don't care. I really want to RUN AWAY (CRYING!!) from having
to depend on Visual Studio 2019 or later. I can't even find C:\WinDDK\
with Visual Studio 2019 anymore, after updating from Windows 8. I'm
almost crying about it.
Also, we want CI, and that is not going to happen with the Visual
Studio Community edition.

So, MinGW64 would work? Which compiler and linker options do I have to
use, which libraries do I link against etc?
