Hi,
As of bug 1123821 (on autoland right now, will be on central on the next
merge), the parts of MS Visual C++ and the Windows SDK relevant to the
build will now be automatically bootstrapped rather than requiring an
existing install of Visual Studio. This will ensure you use the exact
same version used on automation without having to worry about it.
You needn't do anything on your end for it to happen, but in case things
go wrong, you can selectively disable this behavior with `ac_add_options
--enable-bootstrap=-vs`, then reach out to me directly (e.g. on Element)
or file a bug in the Firefox Build System :: Bootstrap Configuration
component.

Sounds great!
Does this mean windows-rs for Rust can also be bootstrapped too?
