I don't particularly mind the approach in itself - however, one fundamental 
aspect is that WinSDK and the MSVC files are unredistributable. So anything 
that consumes them should expect to consume them in the way they're laid out 
when they are unpacked out of the box from those upstream installers (modulo 
moving them to another system). I don't think we should condone anything that 
assumes fetching WinSDK/MSVC derived files from a third party provider or 
github repo or anything like that.
