Using zig cc with CMake on Windows was failing during compiler detection. -nostdinc was causing the crt not to be linked, and Coff/lld.zig assumed that wWinMainCRTStartup would be present in this case. -nostdlib did not prevent the default behaviour of linking libc++ when zig c++ was used. This caused libc++ to be built when CMake ran ABI detection using zig c++, which fails as libcxxabi cannot compile under MSVC. - Change the behaviour of COFF -nostdinc to set /entry to the function that the default CRT method for the specified subsystem would have called. - Fix -ENTRY being passed twice if it was specified explicitly and -nostdlib was present. - Add support for /pdb, /version, /implib, and /subsystem as linker args (passed by CMake) - Remove -Ddisable-zstd, no longer needed - Add -Ddisable-libcpp for use when bootstrapping on msvc

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
