What about LLVM with Visual Studio? How should this be handled?

So big build matrix! It seems I would have to add extra CI config.

I honestly don't know

  • if clang under visual should have the link
  • if clang under mingw should have the link.
    It seems to be usage from curl.

I can use filter { "system:windows", "toolset:gcc" } to not change those configs

This feels like a bigger change like we discussed, does this solve an immediate problem?

Discussion was adding extra API which would be a big change IMO.
Here I (propose to) remove the strange toolset mingw (which is no even web documented)

Added #2576 for LLVM with visual.
Once merged, I would rebase this PR which should answer the original question.
