p11-kit-client.dll for Windows

[spfendtner]

Hi,

I would like to use the p11-kit-client.dll with native Windows. it is included only in the Cygwin build but not within the native MSYS2 builds. As far as I can see, this is by intention. The p11-kit/meson.build skips it on line 90.
Is there any specific reason?
I would like to access a central Hardware Token containing several SSH Keys on a Windows Workstation. Microsofts own Windows SSH does support PKCS11 providers and this is working directly with native Windows Softhsm2 or Yubikey PKCS11 Dlls. It would be great to have it with p11-kit PKCS11 as well.

I've attached a patch file, I can compile the dll with a MSYS2 MinGW 64 environment: p11kitclient-win32-diff.txt

You should have a look to some old pull requests I did few years ago:
#251
It was designed for native compilation with Microsoft C compiler to build the dll on Windows.

@spfendtner I'm in favor of applying this, assuming it works: could you confirm?

I compiled it successfully on Win10 MSYS2 using to changes mentioned. To reproduce:
LDFLAGS+=" -lintl" meson _build
LDFLAGS+=" -lintl" meson compile -C _build

But I've not yet figured out yet how to use it correctly and if it works.
