Hi, Reading this got me slightly confused about who is expected to compile ironcrate. I was assuming it would be up to ironcrate developers; and that they would produce some sort of DLL made to replace msvcrt.dll. I thought it may have been like the now-extinct mingwm10: the compiler handles linking to it, while the developer just has to distribute the file along with his program. Is this instead going to be a more regular library that one just includes in one's project and compiles / links with?
