    For meson you just need to to "pip install meson ninja" in your

    AFAICT meson will use whatever version of VC you have installed,
    although I have only been testing with VC2019.

OK, that sounds easy enough then (famous last words!)

Dave -- does this mean you see a way forward on moving the Windows builds over to use Meson instead of MSVC? Do you think we'll have enough info by end of this week to make a decision on whether we can drop MSVC in v16?
