I don't "mean" that but it seems that's what I'm talking about.
However, although I don't know much about these things resources like
https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/wiki/BuildingWithCMake seem to
indicate that it *is* possible to have fluidsynth as a real Windows application.

OK, then the general question seems to be: are there command line tools that
can be used to convert MIDI to audio on Windows in a way that Frescobaldi can
use?

OK, a quick glance on the VirtualMidiSynth homepage made it clear that I won't
be able to fully digest how things relate here. What would be your setup to
"manually convert midi to mp3", is there a possibility to wrap that in a
command line invocation?
May lack of support for Windows-specific functionality is not ideological
(well, mostly ;-) ), but I need specific input to try making it work.
