Indeed, that takes quite a bit of time.

I did not want to imply that you did - sorry if it came across that way.
*I* only test compiled, and was then happy merging your patch ("I'm sure
Selva tested this, it is according to documentation and the code looks
good, and compiles fine") - but as I learned, there are more caveats on
Windows. So, when we do more basic changes (new API, etc), I need to
do actual test installations on my windows zoo, like, win7/32, win7/64,
win10/64... I usually do this already today if I suspect breakage, but
in this case, it came as a surprise.
