Improve MSVC support

[mhmd-azeez]

add import .lib to releases

This will be handled by #633

@G4Vi

test and fix libextism cmake file with msvc

is this still relevant?

That is still relevant. However, another item to consider is vcpkg support. vcpkg support should enable users to build a project using libextism on all systems with the same cmake file.

There are two goals I'd like to accomplish:

1. Have a familiar / standard development experience using libextism on Windows (easy to use with visual studio c++)
2. Support cross-platform projects, use same repo and project files with minimal duplication, to build a project using libextism for Windows, Mac, Linux. (cmake packages, also cmake in-tree builds)

Goal 1 is more important than goal 2, but both are important. I trust your judgement on what next to proceed on.

I have revised this ticket with items I believe related to goals 1 and 2. Please let me know if you think we should go in a different direction to accomplish those goals.

Info on vcpkg:

Seems like vcpkg doesn't support rust libraries yet, and I couldn't find a workaround:

• microsoft/vcpkg#30251
• microsoft/vcpkg#20619

But, there is some hope:
microsoft/vcpkg#30251 (comment)

We can revisit it later on after Rust support is added

Thanks for looking into vcpkg. Definitely something to watch, but it sounds like it doesn't have the functionality we need yet.
