@vsemozhetbyt thanks for opening this PR!

I would make it something like: "Auto-detection fails for Visual C++ Build Tools 2015, so --msvs_version=2015 needs to be added (not needed when run by npm as configured above):"

We can be clear about VCBT2015, because it is exactly and only for it that GYP fails to autodetect.

Based on #1153 (comment), yes!

It's no different from other repos: run CI, add commit metadata, merge. Anyone with write access can (and is welcome to) land patches.

CI just in case: https://ci.nodejs.org/view/All/job/nodegyp-test-pull-request/10/
