Issue Description:

The SwiftShims module pulls in the visualc module which is less than ideal. The SwiftShims module is meant to be used to break the circular dependency.

I'm going to close this off for now. Some more details on the nature of the issue:

Windows SDK is the core bit of interface to the Windows API surface. This depends on UCRT, which is distributed as part of the Windows SDK. However, ucrt itself depends on VCRuntime, which is part of the VisualC++ toolset. This is the route to the dependency and there is no clear path to dropping that at this time.
