It seems as if commit e6b6ea02 had very good reasons to replace the MSVC build scripts with a meson build; it's really slow, and wastes a lot of cycles, while testing much less than meson. So I doubt that we'd want to restore exactly what was in place prior to that commit. If we can't just drop the MSVC build scripts, perhaps we could add something akin to the existing CompilerWarnings target. Something that's purely intended to detect these kinds of oversights. Even that seems excessive to me, though. I hope that we can just get rid of the scripts before long. -- Peter Geoghegan
