This change adds support for using a system-installed compiler on Windows, such as a pre-existing MinGW toolchain (from MSYS2, Winget etc.). This can be helpful in situations where the user either cannot or prefers not to use the compiler bundled with QB64-PE.
A clear warning is displayed when this option is enabled to ensure users understand the implications. This feature is available exclusively on Windows.
