Who is responsible for updating our build documentation about this? It
seems the docs still don't believe we can even build for sure on VS2015
(though it's been the recommended compiler for a while now), and list a
number of SDKs that I'm not convinced you'd actually need to manually
install if using MSVS2015.

It also seems this is largely duplicated with the "windows build
prerequisites" page which does seem to have been updated. :-\

Heads up: we'll soon be dropping support for building mozilla-central
with VS2013. Bug 1186064 tracks and the patch has already received r+.
I'm going to wait a few days before landing because this could be
disruptive and I want to at least give a heads up before I create a
fire. Please install VS2015 in the next 48 hours to avoid a surprise
the next time you pull.
(We've previously recommended everyone install VS2015, so this
announcement should come as no surprise.)
