Confirmed, with Visual Studio 2019, printf does support "%zu".

According to <https://stackoverflow.com/a/44055215/827263>, support for
"%zu" was introduced in VS2013 (_MSC_VER >= 1800).

Bart probably has an older version of Microsoft's C runtime.  Of course
it has nothing to do with the compiler he's using.  Presumably a fresh
installation of MinGW-w64 will use whatever existing C runtime is
already on the system.

(BTW, I'll be using Visual Studio in my new job.  Speaking of which,
**I got a new job!**)
