I noticed this issue two days ago, it's a glib thing. For reasons I still
don't understand, they lookup for Gio extensions in different directory
when things are built with msvc. But the install path does not seem to
match. We'll need to fix it in glib, unless I'm mistaken. And then carry
this into cerbero.
