Does zig intend to become the busybox of compilers?

See https://www.ryanliptak.com/blog/zig-is-a-windows-resource-co... for an example of using the Zig build system to cross-compile an existing Windows GUI program written in C from any supported host system.

Yeah I have used windres for that purpose in the past, open to replacing that with a zig invocation.
