This project has been ported to Windows, including stack tracing, signal
handling, and unit tests.

A Visual Studio solution file is explicitly not provided because it is not
maintainable. Instead, a CMake build system exists to generate the correct
solution for your version of Visual Studio.

In short,
  (1) Install CMake from: https://cmake.org/download/
  (2) With CMake on your PATH, run `cmake .` to generate the build files
  (3) Either use `cmake --build`, or open the generated solution

CMake provides different generators, and by default will pick the most relevant
one to your environment. If you need a specific version of Visual Studio, use
`cmake . -G <generator-name>`, and see `cmake --help` for the available
generators. Also see `-T <toolset-name>`, which can used to request the native
x64 toolchain with `-T host=x64`.
