Subject: [PATCH] Improve Windows build script with comprehensive dependency
 checking
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Enhanced build.bat to automatically detect and offer to install all
required dependencies for users with minimal Windows dev environment:

- Check for winget availability (required for auto-installation)
- Detect and offer to install Git (recommended for development)
- Improved GCC/MinGW detection with fallback instructions
- Better error messages for users without winget
- Graceful degradation when automatic installation is not available

This ensures Jake and other users with just Go installed can run the
build script and get prompted to install everything needed automatically.
