A CI base docker image for when building Nim(lang) packages for Linux (native compilation) and Windows (cross compilation).

• Based on debian:latest
• Uses ChooseNim to install Nim and Nimble
• Contains the Windows 64bit version of Nim - This allows packaging required base-DLLs with the win64 binary. (TODO Check if they are required for running under wine only, or also on native windows?)

In your CI configuration, choose hoijui/nim-ci as the base (docker-)image. Then you are able to use nim and nimble for native-compiling (Linux 64bit), and additionally MinGW for cross-compiling (Windows 64bit).

This .gitlab-ci.yml file compiles the software for Linux and Windows (both 64bit).
