Calling for a patch once, twice ;p 

FWIW, I would not mind marking VS 2019 as the minimum requirement on
HEAD once the MSVC scripts are gone.  The oldest VS version tested in
the buildfarm is hamerkop with VS2017, still under the MSVC scripts.
I'd like to believe that a switch to meson implies a newer version of
VS installed there.
