> Will it work with Julia 1.7?

I tried the MSVC method with Julia 1.7, but there are many missing definitions, so I still have to look for a workaround. The VScode devcontainer method should work with any Julia version. Which method you need/prefer also depends on the library you want to wrap (i.e. is it easier to build that library with MSVC or GCC?)
