So, does anyone with Windows build experience want to comment on this?
The proposal is to desupport anything older than (probably) MSVC 2013,
or alternatively anything that cannot compile the attached test file.
We've got a buildfarm handy that could answer the question.
Let's just stick a test function in there for a day and see
which animals fail.
I think we pretty much know the answer already, anything before 2013
will fail. The question is more whether that's problematic for the
people building on windows. My theory, quoted by Peter upthread, is
that it shouldn't be problematic because 2013 can build binaries that
run on XP etc.
XP at least is essentially a dead platform for us. My animals are not
able to build anything after release 10.
