Apache projects are required to be vendor-neutral since The ASF is
a 501(c)3 charity.
That doesn't rule out having a VS-specific build process. Rather, it
means that if someone shows up with a patch adding a ${competitor_of_VS}
build process, that patch should be considered on its merits; it can't
just be waved off with "we're a VS project".
