WinDiff - Web-based tool to browse and compare symbol and type information of Microsoft Windows binaries across different versions of the operating system. Inspired by ntdiff and updated automatically via Winbindex.
This is a really cool complement to my msvcrt.lib generator to visualize how stable or backwards compatible the raw msvcrt lib is or isn’t.

WinLibs: Standalone build of GCC and MinGW-w64 for Windows
I’m always surprised to remember that mingw32/64 has a dependency on MSVCRT (or now UCRT, I guess).
Given how sparse the C standard library is and how much effort went into/goes into mingw, Cygwin, msys2, and co; you’d assume they would just use the native Win32 APIs and supplement with unversioned/undocumented plain MSVCRT.DLL that is always available on all versions of Windows [0].
