That's my hope too.  But we link Mesa/Gallium components with other internal 
components, so we can only move towards new MSVC once the rest of the product 
does.

And part of the difficulty is that we used to use MSVC that came bundled from 
Windows SDKs, as those are easier to use (unlike the whole Visual Studio, 
Windows SDK compiler can easily be ran from a network share), however Microsoft 
decided to stop bundling MSVC compilers in Windows SDK, which means newer 
Visual Studio needs to be installed on every build slave, which causes quite a 
few logistic challenges.  Anyway, I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

That sounds great. Can we do the same with Mesa as well?
