Automatically assemble Windows Sysroots directly from Microsoft
winsysroot is a tool which automatically and efficiently creates what is effectively a "sysroot" for Windows targets, allowing you to (cross)-compile against native Microsoft sources from any operating system and for any architecture supported by Microsoft. It also takes care of the case-sensitivity problem of the Windows SDK by automatically generating LLVM overlay specifications. It is written in pure cross-platform Go and is extremely fast it tries very hard to download the absolute minimum number of files to achive its goals.
