"OpenEmbedded meta layer for mingw based SDKs"

Running bitbake on Windows isn't possible.  It's getting closer with the
new Subsystem for Linux thing but that's not ready yet.

meta-mingw lets you build SDKs *for* Windows.  We've used it to build cross
compilers that run on Windows that generate Linux binaries.

If you want to build for a Windows target then that should be possible but
nobody as far as I'm aware has made the work public.  meta-mingw will
contain most of the changes needed as that does build Windows binaries.
