Summary

Guidance in the README on how to set up RustPython on Windows without access to the link.exe utility (ie via gnucc).

Detailed Explanation

I have been trying to try out RustPython, but my problem is that I am trying this at work and I cannot get a Visual Studio licence, so compiling against link.exe is not an option. I have found that I can get rustup installed with the default host triple (x86_64-pc-windows-gnu), but when I try to compile RustPython, it seems to fail back to the wincc version.

An alternative would be to have a compiled version on conda-forge...
