Almost certainly, although I'm not sure how much more "native" you're
planning to get. The mingw build already talks directly to win32 APIs.
Can you elaborate on what you're trying to do here?

Note that we're not likely to support new build systems, unless that
build system is named meson.

"Wildly inconsistent". If you're modifying existing code it's usually
best to follow whatever the local style is. For new code we typically
prefer K&R with 4 space indents. Running the x-indent.sh script should
get you pretty close:
