Win10 msvc trunk (#498)Build trunk on Windows with a modern MSVCconfigure.ac required VS2008, but the bundled dependencies had moved pastwhat VC9 can compile -- boost 1.84 needs C++11, Python 3.11 needs VS2017 ornewer -- so the configured compiler could not build the configureddependencies, and no combination of the two worked. Every other platform hadalready moved; Windows was the one left pinned.This branch accepts a VS2015-or-newer toolset and the Windows 10 SDK, thenfixes what a modern compiler and SDK find: export lists, entry points, CRTand manifest handling, and source conformance across the tree. Everydependency builds, including Python, which trunk has never built on Windowsat all. The CLI/.NET binding is ported from Managed C++ to C++/CLI and itsbridgetest passes.configure, bootstrap and build.pl now run to completion, andinstsetoo_native produces openoffice450.msi and openoffice450sdk.msi.coinMp has been updated to the latest Version.What this does not claim: the office has not been started, andtesttools/source/bridgetest still fails getCaughtException() in the x86 C++bridge. Python is built without _ssl, _ctypes, _bz2, _lzma and _sqlite3, andPlatform SDK v7.0 is still required alongside the Windows 10 SDK. No otherplatform's build is changed.Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01UWgzQY2r1XwFvgeLPFWPsi
