It would make it easier for more WebKit maintainers to fix Windows build issues. It's more likely that contributors have a Linux dev environment setup than a Windows one.
Windows compiles under clang-cl now, and links with lld-link, so no MASM.exe to worry about.
We'll need something like https://github.com/Jake-Shadle/xwin to download the Microsoft CRT headers and libraries, and Windows SDK headers and libraries - we might want to integrate it into the existing script that downloads WebKitRequirements and put the files in WebKitLibraries.
Use the /vctoolsdir and /winsdkdir flags for clang-cl to point at the CRT and SDK directories, which should expand out into the required compilation / linker flags.
Some CMake changes will be needed to duct tape these pieces together - in particular the /vctoolsdir and /winsdkdir flags.
Might require some changes to Scripts like build-webkit etc.
----
Running the MiniBrowser / jsc via wine might need other changes, but being able to build would be the first step.
