If we keep MSVC support in 16, then I agree we should have a CI task for
it -- and IMO we should make ti automatically triggers whenever any
Makefile or meson.build is modified.  Hopefully we won't touch them
much now that the branch is feature-frozen, but it could still happen.

Do we have code for it already, even if incomplete?
