Re: NSS and MSVS 2022

Hello Benjamin,

If you have ~100gb to burn, the ms dev env is quite accessible (in ms 
standards) nowadays: 
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/

I've seen gyp-next but it was quite easy to get the vanilla version to 
work so didn't really look into it.

If I were you, I'd just pay some consultant to migrate to CMake and be 
done with it. Maybe it could be done in a semi-automated fashion using 
the following route:

https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/build/+/b7c5b2083caa19eddb516f33b9ff13ffe260d5be/gypi_to_gn.py

https://github.com/google/skia/blob/main/gn/gn_to_cmake.py

After all, it only needs to work once.

Best regards,
Burak
