Hi there!

My name is Elmar Knittel and I use Miniserve in conjunction with x-ite.

Miniserve is a fantastic tool for programs like x-ite that use XMLHttpRequest to pull in files (images etc) and therefore need a localhost server because of restricted CORS (cross origin resource sharing) policy!

Here's my request:

Please consider adding -Ctarget-feature=+crt-static to Rust flags for msvc compile to get rid off the dependency on vcruntime140.dll.

vcruntime140.dll is not part of standard Windows (not even for Windows11)!

At the moment I undergo the inconvenience to download the newest Rust-compiler, set it up and recompile Miniserve with -Ctarget-feature=+crt-static from source (including the download of over 300 Rust-crates) for every new version of Miniserve.

The increase in size is only 33792 bytes if packed with upx -9 --ultra-brute (96256 bytes unpacked)!

Best regards,

Elmar
