Yes.

If someone else was doing the cross-build, maybe..
You'd still need someone with a windows 11 machine to test the new
build of privoxy.  Which isn't all that bad, but whoever is doing the
cross-build would also have to cross-build all the libraries - which
is a pain.  For whatever reason the brotli 1.2.0 library now requires
'cmake  -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=off' and I'm not at all clear about the
zstd documentation talking about "by default the dynamic library is
multithreaded and static library is single-threaded."  Is that going
to be a problem for privoxy?  I dunno, but at least privoxy hasn't
blown up yet.
