Enable Thin Library support for the Runtime linker on Windows.
The runtime linker currently has an #ifdef
that removes support for AR's thin archives for Windows.
This because all the code is based on char*
and Windows would require wchar_t
.
Using the abstraction of pathchar
this can be enabled for Windows and remove another #ifdef
from the RTS.
