Yes, I was working on that some time ago and I was able to enable NLS (and many other dependencies) on Windows CI image by using the dependencies from Dave Page's winpgbuild repository [1]. I was going to share these changes but some other things came up and this one got delayed. I am planning to return to this again soon. As an example, I re-generated the Windows CI image and tested it with VS 2019 [2] and VS 2022 [3]. There are 3 tests failed on both but they are not related to NLS.
