I agree; CMake option LLVM_USE_CRT_RELEASE=MT (assuming
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release).

Yep, from https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStartedVS.html:
"You will need Visual Studio 2015 or higher, with the latest Update installed."

I think we should link lld-link.exe statically against the VC/C++ libraries. I
suspect LLVM does not build with anything before VC2015 because latest C++ is
used.

I chose VC2010 in the hope that it is already installed on most systems, though
plain Windows doesn't seem to have it.

The runtimes for VC2015 or later are a bit messy as they rely on the UCRT
aswell. It is a bit of a hassle to install these on Win7 or earlier.
