(Fine) Wine and MSVC
summary
Claims running MSVC under Wine on Linux yields measurable wins: a reproduced installer from published JSON manifests implemented as a 1,500-line Python installer replicator, an environment setup that replaces vcvars by generating the 27 MSVC environment variables, and a small command-line argument rewriter / compiler launcher to fix slash vs dash and path issues. The pipeline distributes builds, successfully builds all of Boost, and reports about 18% faster builds in benchmarks despite emulation overhead.
