IcedTea-Web: Building a portable rust-launcher on windows

[Christian Svedin]

I have built icedtea-web locally on windows from the icedtea-web-1.8-branchpoint tag.
I get a rust-launcher that's 370 kB big, compared to the one in the msi package for your 1.8 release which is about 10 times bigger.

My guess is that mine is dynamically linked and yours is statically linked. On some machines I get errors about missing vcruntime-libraries.

Are there any flags I should use when building, or do I need to install anything to get statically linked .exe files?
Maybe I should use another version of the rust compiler or cargo? I have rustc version 1.31.1 and cargo version 1.31.0
