//! Statically link the VCRuntime when using the MSVC toolchain
//!
//! By default, Rust requires programs to deploy `vcruntime140.dll`
//! (or equivalent) when redistributing binaries. This crate statically links
//! the library instead.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
//!
//! ```toml
//! [build-dependencies]
//! static_vcruntime = "2.0"
//! ```
//!
//! And in your [build script]:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! fn main() {
//!     static_vcruntime::metabuild();
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! That is all. Then when you build a release binary, the runtime will be
//! statically linked:
//! 
//! ```text
//! cargo build --release
//! ```
//!
//! # Issues
//!
//! If you have problems then you may need to clean the build directory before rebuilding:
//!
//! ```text
//! cargo clean
//! ```
//!
//! If all else fails then, in the same directory as your Cargo.toml, create a folder called `.cargo`. In that folder create the file `config.toml` and add the following:
//!
//! ```ini
//! [target.'cfg(all(windows, target_env = "msvc"))']
//! rustflags = ["-C", "target-feature=+crt-static"]
//! ```
//!
//! This makes it easier to override the defaults.
//! 
//! [build script]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html
