Because these patches are rapidly changing all the time, I pushed
them to a public git repo here:

  https://github.com/rwmjones/nbdkit/tree/2020-windows-mingw

And guess what!  In the process of doing that I discovered my previous
partially working port to Windows.  (I knew I'd done this, but I
couldn't find it anywhere until just now.)  There's some good stuff in
this tree which I will need to integrate with the above:

For completeness since we're talking about Windows ports of nbdkit,
here is Frank Gu's attempt.  It's a bit different from the above since
it uses MSYS2 (a cut down Cygwin) so it's not a port to the pure Win32
API.  I don't think this is the approach that we want to take since it
will add extra dependencies and change the license of the resulting
binary:
