Rust apps on Windows 7

[sergeevabc]

Dear @stunndard,

Both your Go binaries fixer and a special version of Go for Windows 7 by @XTLS are invaluable tools for any Windows 7 user who is baffled by the betrayal of Go team. Lo and behold, they cut Windows 7 users off as outcasts who are not worth the attention. Gosh, these golden boys and girls should travel outside the rich ghettos of US & EU more often in order to see sad state of the world where upgrades don't happen regularly.

But what about good Rust apps? Some of them became part of our daily workflow, and they no longer work on Windows 7. How do we run them from now on? I mean, for example, bat, fd and hyperfine by @sharkdp, coreutils by @tertsdiepraam, fclones by @pkolaczk, kalker by @PaddiM8, rg by @BurntSushi and even a clipboard tool bp by @printfn. I look for a solution like your binary patch or a special version of Rust for Windows 7 to build such apps myself, but no luck so far. Some folks suggest targeting [win7-windows-msvc], other claim it does not work.

It makes me sad, because computers are here to help us, not to divide us into castes.

What do you think, @stunndard?
