[Scons-users] vswhere.. does it find all the versions of visual studio SCons users care about?

[Bill Deegan]

SCons could drop all the logic which looks in the registry for locations
among other things.  And a big pile of tests which would no longer be
needed.
We have to use vswhere to find VS2017 (and above) anyway.
A uniform approach to finding the install would be simpler.
