      The static client library is not useable on Windows, since there is no mechanism by which to instruct the linker to extract all symbols from the archive. As a result, the MONGO_INITIALIZERS are not extracted, and programs using the library fail with 'BadValue default'. We should refuse requests to build the unusable library on Windows.
