A lightweight, winget-installable Rust bootstrapper for RosBE.
`winget install` adds the `rosbe` command. Run `rosbe install` to
download and verify the RosBE toolchain bundle, then `rosbe enable`
to add the active toolchain directories to PATH.
Managed in this version:
- LLVM (Clang) 24 - llvm 20261009, one toolchain for every LiberNT target
(x86, ARM, AArch64, RISC-V, PowerPC)
- LLVM-MinGW (Clang) 24.0.0 - llvm-mingw 20261007 (UCRT), plus a RISC-V toolchain
- MinGW-GCC 16.2.0 - crosstool-NG Canadian-cross (UCRT)
- CMake 3.31.6
- Ninja 1.12.1
- WinFlexBison (Flex+Bison) 2.5.25 - Flex 2.6.4 + Bison 3.8.2
- QEMU (Windows bundle) 11.1.0 - qemu.weilnetz.de build 20260811
`rosbe update` refreshes the toolchain bundle. `rosbe remove` removes
the installed bundle and PATH entries.
