 build:dev task is an addition to what is already there and doesn't really
 alter anything else.

 it work on Windows too. But committing what we have at the moment will not
 make it harder for you to do what you were able to do before. Therefore I
 suggest doing a first commit now, but not closing the ticket with it.

 Sorry but I disagree, we should ensure that the core committers who use
 Windows can use this first please, recent build tool changes have already
 caught out a ''lead developer'' (see #44262) because there was no Windows
 testing.
