We should do whatever makes it really simple to add clang to path and run
it without any DLL conflicts. If it's easy to copy the vc runtime DLLs into
our package in a compatible way, great, so long as users can unzip the
package and run it from whereever it is without installing any
dependencies. Static linking just happens to be the easiest way to achieve
that.
