Looks good.

Patch please.

The last release we did we decided it was to early for 1.0.2. I'd be
prepared to move to 1.0.2 now but that needs confirmation on the dev
list. A separate patch for this should be enough to start that discussion.

Did you read the how to build tc-native page? MSVC is not required.

The toolchain used is driven by the desire to produce Windows binaries
that do not have a dependency on a specific msvc runtime. In the past we
have had all sorts of difficulties when the JVM depended on a different
version to Tomcat.
I certainly would not object to anything that made the build process
easier for new people to figure out as long as that does not mean
sacrificing the msvc runtime requirement.

I have no idea what you were trying to build but Python is not - and has
never been as far as I am aware - a dependency for any Tomcat build.

I have no strong opinion on which build tool is used to simplify the
current process. If you known Gradle and want to produce a patch then go
for it.
