Provide or point at a podman or docker build environment for windows #132

I've noticed that people(me included) have trepidation about adopting gtk based on whether they can get a working windows build.

This could be alleviated with some documentation or landing page guidance to use podman/docker -

Sorry this is not a more developed bug as I'm using another gui atm.

I've also tried both of those Docker solutions this week, and haven't had any luck cross-compiling for Windows yet. Would be great if there was an official/actively-maintained container/VM image for this purpose.
