concept ACK. I think this would work well for rust-bitcoin. |

Concept ACK - ran into issues running gen_context when cross-compiling with mingw-w64 while having Wine installed. |

As an alternative, @roconnor-blockstream is working on extending gen_context in #956. The plan (in that PR or in a follow up PR) is to simply ship with precomputed headers then, which would removes the need for running gen_context (or python) entirely for all supported builds. |

Closing in favor of #988 . |

This removes the need for a separate native toolchain to build
gen_context, and the issues around compilation options affecting one but not the other.Alternative to #918.
