Because cross-compiling binaries for Windows is easier than building natively

I want Microsoft to do better, want Windows to be a decent development platform-and yet, I constantly see Microsoft playing the open source game: advertising how open-source and developer friendly they are - only to crush developers under the heel of the corporate behemoth's boot.

The people who work at Microsoft are amazing, kind, talented individuals. This is aimed at the company's leadership, who I feel has on many occassions crushed myself and other developers under. It's a plea for help.

The source of truth for the 'open source' C#, C++, Rust, and other Windows SDKs is proprietary

You probably haven't heard of it before, but if you've ever used win32 API bindings in C#, C++, Rust, or other languages, odds are they were generated from a repository called microsoft/win32metadata.

Configurations for Nintendo Homebrew Compilation

Warning Committing the .vscode files to your git repo should not be done, as configurations are not fully portable.

The file c_cpp_properties.json contains configurations for Nintendo 3DS, Switch, and Wii U. This helps with intellisense. Create .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json in your project directory and then copy and paste the content as applicable.

This file was changed since it was uploaded to my GitHub repository to use the "env" JSON key. This is so more profiles can be easily created with defaults for each console and then adding extras, such as a debugging profile. On top of that, it was moved to a gist because they are much easier to update.
