Re: First experience with Visual Studio 2019

[Graham Bloice <graham.bloice () trihedral com>]

Some comments on Chris's observations.

CMake.  VS now includes CMake, although it does lag behind a little, but I
would be expecting it to work (as in tested by MS and others) with the
installed version of VS.  I have been planning to remove the separate
installation of CMake from the Developers Guide, I've been running this for
quite a while now with both VS 2017 and 2019.

VS Version.  The VS team iterate quite quickly, the choco package does seem
to lag a little, e.g. today it offers me 16.3.10 but 16.4.0 has been
released. I think the choco version number is a mistake, it is likely to be
16.3.9, see the VS release notes here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2019/release-notes-history

The lemon warning is a regression and we either need to push an upstream
fix, or use our local macro for unused parameters.
