What does this mean? Is there a Mozilla.ai library fork?

Yes. The original https://github.com/Narsil/esaxx-rs library forces static linking, so we created a fork to allow dynamic linking: https://github.com/mozilla-ai/esaxx-rs-dyn-msvc/
Maybe we could try and push the changes to the main repository. Right now this was the only approach we could take.
