 https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/win_cross.md
 says that we need to add `target_os = ['win']` to our `.gclient` file
 before calling `gclient sync` to get some additional deps.

 says that Googlers have access to the necessary toolchain, but we don't.

 Ugh. So, you need to use clang to cross-compile the webrtc parts? We want
 to have this, too, for Firefox as Stylo needs that but we won't go the
 road Google takes but use a clang/mingw-w64 approach. See:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1390583 where we basically
 got this working.

 I am not thrilled to have two different clang-based approaches in our
 build setup for Windows. That said, what are the options for not having to
 pull in all the Chromium stuff to build the WebRTC parts we need? I can't
 imagine that everyone wanting to have that lib is always building the
 whole Chromium thing.
