windows: make windows-sys dev-dependency target-specific #140

Closed decathorpe closed 6 months ago

decathorpe commented 6 months ago

The windows-sys dependency is only relevant on cfg(windows) targets.

This looks like an improvement to me, but I want to know in what instance does a dev-dependency being unconditional actually makes the dependency to get pulled in outside of the scenarios where somebody develops libloading itself? Is there any?

decathorpe commented 6 months ago

We try to run cargo test for all Rust crates we package for Fedora Linux. I know that Debian is doing something similar.

Alright, thank you for the contribution!
