Hi. 
I'm new to gRPC. Trying to build gRPC on Windows to evaluate for a product.

I've been writing software for 30 years, but no one has experience with 
everything. 
And so much of BUILDING.md is going right over my head -- I've never used 
CMAKE in my life. Also, I swear many of the instructions are for Linux and 
I guess I am supposed to infer what to do on Windows, except I can't. 

So if anyone is around for noob-level questions, I would greatly 
appreciate. 

Just to explain my experience so far. 

First thing I tried is the vcpkg approach. But this failed so badly I 
decided it wasn't prudent to go that way. 

I got farther by downloading the repo and using CMAKE. 
But all the builds are blowing up with fatal errors that stdalign.h cannot 
be found. 
It's building against WinSDK 10.0.17763.0 -- which I know is wrong. 
I have 10.0.22000.0 installed. 
But I have tried a dozen different things and I cannot get the build to use 
10.0.22000.0. 

It seems to be building something though.
I'd like to use the product of the build if I could -- maybe it's 
sufficient. 
But the build artifacts I want to use is another thing that's unexplained. 
I am supposed to "install" grpc. 
But that's also unexplained.

So here I am, fairly severely stuck. 

If you ask me what I want to do, it is "build code to use grpc". YOU tell 
ME how to get there, I don't have a preference. 

Thanks in advance.
Kevin
