Subject: [PATCH] BLD: fix wheel builds on Windows

Ensure we're using MSVC; avoids finding a broken link.exe which again
got added to a GHA runner image. Error message was:

```
   ..\meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Found GNU link.exe instead of MSVC link.exe in C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\link.EXE.
  This link.exe is not a linker.
  You may need to reorder entries to your %PATH% variable to resolve this.
```
