Motivation for this change

I'm using this for build environments of non-Nix projects. Version 6.0.0 brings better Win32 API coverage and bugfixes. It's been used in various distros long enough to be considered stable. Latest version 7.0.0 hasn't received extensive testing yet; I know there are changes in 7.0.0 headers that may affect code for 5.0.4/6.0.0.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
