```
Looks like we need a fork of build-win64-mxe because the default build takes TOO
long for it to be feasible on a GitHub action. Even upstream seems to build
elsewhere and upload the binaries.
The slowness primarily comes because the mxe toolchain needs to be built from
source, including llvm and rust. There used to be mxe packages, and perhaps they
will again be in the future, but currrently the mxe pkg repo is not maintained
and doesn't work with build-win64-mxe.
While in our fork we can't trim of llvm itself, we can trim off a lot of
dependencies that we don't need for our current purpose.
## Notes 2
Try using libvips-packaging, see if it builds vips tools binaries too.
