The Xaml compiler is now included as an exe in the Windows App SDK; while the inputs/outputs are undocumented, they can be traced from the existing msbuild, and the source is available in the microsoft-ui-xaml repository.

It would be good to remove the hard-to-debug interactions between build systems.

The main blocker would be #450 , but that's not documented or supported by Microsoft; if that were done, there's also lots of small things.

Probably not a good idea given it's not documented at all; seems like it's there but unsupported.

Too much pain, too many long-standing bugs, too annoying to integrate with CMake, and plan has changed from 'open source' to 'shared source'.
