i'm going to switch the build to clang-cl. To test, I've added EXE build support back to the speech2 C++ buildsystem and I'm going to replace the current mingw command lines for clang-cl in the next commit.
Because we only need XP SP3 compatibility, we won't need any compat library stuff, but I may still alter his libc++ fork if MSVC CRT ends up blowing too many chunks.
not needed, since dotnet sdk tooling can target .net 4.0 (incl windows x86 to boot! pretty cool.).
afaik the project can still be opened by newer vs versions anyways so /shrug
