PE Conversion

[Esme Povirk (she/they)]

For windowscodecs we could use win32 builds (PE or static) for the
dependencies. The interface was designed to make it easy to switch to
this, we just need to resolve the question of how we're managing those
dependencies.

I don't know if there are any other dlls that need callbacks from a
unix library that can't be built for win32.
