We plan to switch the Windows build machines to Visual Studio 2013 on the Firefox 35 train.
Some benefits from this change: * No more linker OOM crashes. VS2013 includes a 64-bit toolchain for 32-bit builds, so the linker will no longer be limited to 4GB address space. * The linker capacity opens the door for merging our binaries into libxul (like we do on the other platforms) * More than 2x improvement in PGO build times * Better language support The tracking bug is 914596.
