Moreover, I suggest beginning with a patch that replaces the src/tools/msvc
build system with CMake.  One can test almost all Windows configurations using
two machines, so author and reviewer can test most everything.  src/tools/msvc
has more defects than the GNU make build system, so the minimum-quality
acceptable replacement is easier to deliver.  With CMake driving all MSVC
builds, it would be much easier to gradually extend to other platforms.
