It's very fresh. I got something very basic working quickly, but I
need to test it more. I'll publish it when it's in working condition.

The script is setup so it downloads and builds everything necessary,
but this is not intended for end-users, but rather for someone who
wants to contribute a build. A user would download the build
containing everything and just unpack it.

I have absolutely no idea how (or why) Windows works so any input in
