Hooray! I'm pretty sure I'll r+ the next patch.
May as well change my comment in the build-webkit script about vcvarsall.bat, too.

Will the binary still work on Windows 7 and vista?

> Source/JavaScriptCore/JavaScriptCore.vcxproj/JavaScriptCore.vcxproj:83
> -    <PlatformToolset>v120_xp</PlatformToolset>
> +    <PlatformToolset>v140_xp</PlatformToolset>

This should change v120_xp to v140.  I don't think there is a v140_xp toolset.

> Tools/Scripts/webkitdirs.pm:508
> -        $vsInstallDir = File::Spec->catdir(programFilesPath(), "Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0");
> +        $vsInstallDir = File::Spec->catdir(programFilesPath(), "Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0");
> +        if (! -e $vsInstallDir) {
> +            $vsInstallDir = File::Spec->catdir(programFilesPath(), "Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0");
> +        }

vs2015 has to be installed for the v140 toolset to be installed, so I don't think this fallback is necessary or helpful.

Yes. This new field is apparently comparable to the v140 setting. The ability to execute the code is set to Windows 7.1 through the WINVER=0x601 setting.

Agreed! I've corrected this.

OK. We should also ditch the MSBuild 12.0 stuff too, then, since that's the stuff that shipped with "Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0".
