If you eliminate MinGW, you will also need Microsoft's Windows SDK for
windows.h.

I don't think anyone has tried this combination of libraries yet.  You
would have to use the MSVC++ ABI to avoid generating calls to things like
__cxa_guard_acquire, which are usually provided by MinGW.  We don't support
RTTI or exceptions in that ABI yet, though.

Beyond that, I don't think anyone has tried it, so I'm sure some work is
needed to make the pieces fit together perfectly.  C11 _Atomic support
comes to mind.  Clang has it, but we suppress it in the presence of
-fms-compatibility because it conflicts with the MSVC <atomic> header.
