That's exactly where I am. Starting from a clean Windows box, I can go
through all this and get a list of manual instructions, document those, and
that becomes the template to automate. Justcurious, for windows
development, is it Visual Studio, or ported Gnu compliers etc?

Thanks so much. Work is insanely busy for Covid, but I foresee some time
