When I compile a hello world and the executable doesn’t have a lib directory it goes into an infinite loop instead of showing an error

This is a minor issue I just wanted to let you know about.

Could you try this?

1.) Pick a location to save the project in, feel free to edit $env:USERPROFILE\q to your liking!

git clone https://git.urbach.dev/cli/q $env:USERPROFILE\q
cd $env:USERPROFILE\q
go build

2.) Add %USERPROFILE%\q to the PATH.

There is currently no installer for Windows, so it needs to be downloaded and added to the PATH manually.

Regarding the endless loop, I will look into it and see if we can display a proper error message for the case it can't find the standard library.

The problem is likely here as this cancellation condition doesn't work on Windows:

	`if dir == "/" {`
	`panic("standard library not found")`
	`}`
