See the README and comments in the build.rs. Basically, this embeds an XML file that I guess is a way of setting configuration knobs on Windows. One of those knobs is enabling long path support. You still need to enable it in your registry (lol), but this will handle the other half of it. Fixes #364, Closes #2049

This directory contains a Windows manifest for various Windows-specific settings.
The main thing we enable here is longPathAware, which permits paths of the
form C:\ to be longer than 260 characters.
The approach taken here was modeled off of a similar change for rustc.
In particular, this manifest gets linked into the final binary. Those linker
arguments are applied in build.rs.
This currently only applies to MSVC builds. If there's an easy way to make this apply to GNU builds as well, then patches are welcome.
