The new version 24 of NodeJS no longer supports building with MSVC on
Windows
<https://www.infoworld.com/article/3980424/node-js-24-drops-msvc-support.html>.

That article mentions ClangCL. That is some kind of front end that has
command-line options compatible with cl.exe, but runs the LLVM clang C
compiler instead.

Just another chapter in the long, slow decline of MSVC, I guess ...
