fixes #194

ok ruff lint is failing but all other tests pass

This might significantly increase our support issues.

These changes should probably land first on https://github.com/nodejs/gyp-next

Please install https://docs.astral.sh/ruff locally because those errors cannot be ignored.

This might significantly increase our support issues.

So you mean it increases the platform support?
this fixes

• MSYS2-MinGW64: Auto Generated Makefiles Give Error: target pattern contains no '%' #3120
• Using node-gyp in Windows with Windows version of Node and Python and MSYS2 GCC #3079
• Support for mingw/msys/cygwin for node-gyp #1240
• Support for MinGW/Cygwin as an alternative to Visual Studio #194

I mean that it will open more https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues for a volunteer group of maintainers to triage.

because more people will use node-gyp since it will fix something that was broken? That might be true. Is that the reason why it was not fixed?
But it will also close at least 2 issues, and will prevent the same issue about not allowing msys2 from coming up on node-gyp. About gyp-next, unfortunately it is way too different for this patchset to work. And more repos depend on node-gyp and not gyp-next.

I will try submitting a patch for gyp-next but it wont be anytime soon, since it is basically a rewrite.

also with this, you can work with a fork of https://github.com/Kreijstal/node-ffi-napi/tree/master ffi-napi.. since of course it is msvc biased..

• PLEASE ARCHIVE THIS REPO -- The code fails on modern Node.js node-ffi-napi/node-ffi-napi#269 is not something that I would recommend as a building block. There are tons of forks, but no community behind that tool.

currently it is the only option on msys2, since broooklyn will never update napi-sys. And koffi.rs does not work in msys2 either
