      The vscproj SCons target is what produces a Visual Studio project and is very handy for people who develop on Windows, with VS. With the old ninja generator I could just run ninja vcxproj and get a VS project, but the new ninja generator doesn't seem to produce one:

      E:\workspace\mongo>ninja vcxproj
      ninja: error: unknown target 'vcxproj'
      
      E:\workspace\mongo>ninja compiledb
      [0/1] Building compile_commands.json
      

      It should be on the same parity as compiledb.
