Sure, it *can* be.  But that doesn't mean I can rely on my end users
to be able to do that.  Currently I can ship a single 32-bit MSVCRT
binary and be sure it'll work on any version of Windows that matters.
It'll also work in Wine or ReactOS.

Because I don't consider Microsoft Windows to be a suitable development
platform.  I have Windows virtual machines for testing but they expire
every 90 days.  Indeed, one of my chores for today is to reinstall
three Windows VMs that have expired.  I don't want to then have to
reinstall a development environment when I already have everything I
need on Fedora.
