Why would the OS matter? It's so we can port to new platforms by
first building the C++-only ltsmaster compiler with the C++
toolchain for the platform. For example, if someone picks up the
new Windows on ARM laptops, coming out in a couple months, they
could easily build ltsmaster ldc for it, though the stdlib might
require some tweaking.

Honestly, I don't care about Windows and don't mind dropping
this, just don't see why it'd only matter for linux.
