@weltling and @cmb69 , Would you be able to review the changes ?

For context, I am trying to enable building python package lxml for windows on arm64 platforms and this is one of the dependencies used by https://github.com/mhils/libxml2-win-binaries.git to build the final library package for building lxml

Thank you for the PR! And sorry for the looong delay.

I can't test on ARM64 (could do a cross-compilation at best), but since this doesn't affect Win32 or x64 builds, I'm going to merge. Would that already resolve winlibs/libxml2#6, or are changes to other libs needed as well?

Also note that PR #13 adds ARM64 support for a MSVC17 solution, likely somewhat different than in this PR.

Any updates on winlibs/libxml2#6, and the ability to build lxml for Windows ARM64?
