Jan Piotrowski (Sujan) updated CB-13877:
----------------------------------------
    Description: 
Now with VS2017 out, the code for the detection of the correct MSBuildTools 
installation is a total mess and works just by accident.

Things to do:
- -Give more output that can help understand what is going on- Done via PR 255
- -Give more ways to understand selection- Done via PR 259
- -Integrate new restrictions like no Win8.1 support with VS2017-only 
installations- Acceptable limitation for a dead platform I think
- -Simplify selection code that is currently spread over 2 files: 
`MSBuildTools.js` and `build.js`- Done via PR 259
