I noticed that in the win32 directory there are 46 include files in the
main include directory, 9 in include/sys, there's a secure api directory
with 12 files, an a libtcc directory with an include file and a def file..
but the include directory for the non-windows build only has 9 files, so I
guess it's relying on the system to have another C compiler installed whose
.h files it can use.  I haven't been here long, but it does sound like a
bad idea to not include your own include files for every platform.

Does that mean you have to have GCC installed?  It's awfully confident of
them to be sure that every GCC include tree will work. Does Clang work? Is
it a license issue?  If so, that's passing the license issue on to you.
