Wow, that seems like great work!  I'll put this on my todo-list, however
debugging failures on non-free platforms is something I'm happy to
receive help with.  If anyone of the original Windows developers have
spare time to give me a step-by-step shell script command way to
reproduce the problem on a free software platform (MinGW and Wine etc),
that would be great.  A GitLab CI/CD pipeline with the above Dockerfile
would be good to, to add regression testing for MSVC (if that is
permitted license-wise).
