Bug 16392 – drop win32.mak

AFAIK it's a huge pain to keep the win32.mak up-to-date and requires a lot of work & resources that would be spent more wisely on important matters. Ideas 1) use reggae (or another cross-platform buildtool) for dlang.org 2) just drop win32.mak (windows 10 includes a full ubuntu bash anyways)

(In reply to greensunny12 from comment #0) > 2) just drop win32.mak (windows 10 includes a full ubuntu bash anyways) I don't think this is really an option. Windows 10 bash produces posix executables, not windows ones. So it is only ok if posix.mak can be used to cross-compile for windows. Even if that is the case, the Windows 10 bash currently has some limitations that make it not production-ready.

It's dangerous to leave unmaintained scripts in the official repository as it can easily lead to a frustrating experience. This leaves the CHM generation as that's the sole part still being actively used.
