Despite CI crashing out and hanging all over the place (likely due to replacing the call to strdup() with a null pointer because it doesn't link right on Windows for stupid reasons, because I don't know what else I would've changed for Linux/MacOS, unless it's crossbeam 3.9 vs 4.0 that's doing it), it turns out quite a lot of things stick: ipc-channel seems to work sufficiently. So while this is not at all complete, Windows support seems viable.
