Remove the documentation references to GnuWin32. The project is no longer maintained, and as LLVM is now using Git, `llvm-lit` is now using the GNU core utilities packaged with it rather than requiring a separate installation. >From 321d2997790cccdf9d14fc66a3ee3a8a7b48e11f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Henry Kleynhans <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2026 09:47:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [Clang] Remove gnuwin32 documentation references Remove the documentation references to GnuWin32.
