Currently, compiling the bootloader under Windows requires the Scons tool
and two different versions of Visual Studio. This is because originally
the bootloader required to be compiled with the same compiler Python is
built with.
But lately, this has changed. The bootloader is now built statically and
it does not depend on Python anymore. Thus, any version of any compiler
capable of doing a static executable is enough.
We should thus drop a lots of code from Sconscript to open up compilation
to a larger number of compilers. We could also revisit the choice of Scons
in favor of more mainstream tools (eg: cmake).
