Windows build

I am not seeing a Windows build here:

Windows builds are uninteresting for this project since this was made specifically for cross compilation on non-windows hosts, so I'm disinclined to add a windows release build. That being said, nothing stopping you from running cargo install xwin on Windows.

Thanks for the tip, that does work.

Windows builds are uninteresting for this project since this was made specifically for cross compilation on non-windows hosts, so I'm disinclined to add a windows release build.

Using a Windows host, I can download Build Tools for Visual Studio:

https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads

I can then open the installer and choose Desktop development with C++. I can then uncheck all Optional features. Doing that, I get this result:

Total space required: 3.26 GB

Now using the same host, I can do this:

xwin download

and I get this result:

> dir /S .xwin-cache\dl
Total Files Listed:
     39 File(s)    302,468,763 bytes

So the native version downloads over ten times more data. If someone knows how to use the native installer so that it downloads a sane amount of data, then I am happy to use that. Otherwise, I think Xwin can be valuable, even to Windows hosts.
