<div>
<pre>I typically build from a vcvars shell, so this isn't usually a problem for me,
but today I was experimenting with `gn gen . --ide=vs`, which runs it's
external build commands from a "standard" environment. Without INCLUDE, LIB,
LIBPATH, and PATH for mt.exe and some others, the in-IDE ninja build fails
while a build from the right environment will succeed.
It would be nice if we set up the gn build like Chromium has it to write out
environment block files for use with ninja -t msvc, or use -imsvc if clang-cl
is in use.</pre>
