The attribute `__attribute__ ((constructor))` is not supported by MSVC, and the documented workaround is to allocate an empty static struct with a constructor. This patch only applies this workaround when compiling on Windows, and leaves other platforms unchanged.

Please take out the #ifdef WINDOWS: we can use portable C++ here on all
platforms. Thanks,
