----------------------------------------+---------------------------------
 The original reason for the Windows GCC driver was to correct hard-coded
 paths in the GCC build from the `msys` project. The `msys2` builds we now
 exclusively use no longer have these issues.

 Which means 90% of the reason for the driver is gone. Given the recent
 issues with the driver. We can/should simplify things and drop it.
