It will use Visual Studio's libraries and linker, but the compiler has to be Clang. V can't be compiled with Microsoft's C compiler. Make sure you check `Add Clang to PATH` when installing it.

+If your Windows version doesn't have `curl` installed, you can install it, or simply download the `v.c` file via a browser.
