MSYS2 only supports targeting Windows 8.1 or newer, which I feel makes the 32-bit build redundant.

I've been experimenting on and off with other toolchains and have a working build on Windows XP now (some patches pending upstream).

I'll probably switch the 32-bit build to my very cursed process for the next feature release and keep the 64-bit build using MSYS2 for Windows 8.1+

Use EnlyzeWinCompatLb for Win XP compatibility (#232).
f15834c 
The x86 platform in rehex.sln now uses Clang and EnlyzeWinCompatLib to
build an executable compatible with Windows XP. VS 2022 is required now
as the lld-link.exe included with the Clang toolchain inVS 2019 is too
old and doesn't support some required functionality.

There is now a Makefile.msvc to get everything working alongside the VS project, and the CI is generating builds from it.
