Support OS Windows (MSVC compiler)

[heretic13]

Hello.

Please support the work under Windows. Using native WinAPI. Through compilation conditional keys or something like that.

There are some projects that depend on yours (for example, javascript support for the Rust language). But the lack of proper Windows support is a big problem.

PS: MinGW does not fly

MinGW does not fly.
Mainstream windows compiler is Visual Studio C/C++ compiler.

Support of Visual Studio C/C++ is not a priority but the source is progressively modified to reduce the number of modifications. gcc and clang are currently the only officialy supported compilers.

Dear @bellard ,
is there any chance, that MSVC support (made and maintained by community) would be merged into upstream?
If it would be possible, what you expect from such pull request? (In terms of how the port will be made)
I made Win32 support several months ago here,
I tried to make least changes to core (and added only critical changes to make MSVC compiler happy), and
everything else is in win32 folder, so it wouldn't interfere when developing.
Thanks
