Yeah, MinGW is a mess - it's actually based on the MS runtime,
but overrides some MS symbols (e.g., all `long double` math
functions, because they use 80-bit, not 64-bit as MSVC, and so
also the scanf/printf function families) and adds some new
functions for C99/Posix/GNU compatibility. [Most of these are
obsolete by now since the MS runtime provides almost full C99
compatibility since their 2015 runtime.]
So in some cases, it would be CRuntime_Microsoft, in others
CRuntime_Glibc, and in some others probably resorting to already
existing version `MinGW` to differentiate.
