If it's useful, Pynsist includes some code to find and download wheels
for Windows, regardless of the platform it runs on:

Pynsist is a tool to make Windows installers. The tool can also run on
Linux and Mac, but it always builds Windows installers. I didn't know
about "pip download --platform" when I wrote this - it may be redundant.
