This commit adds a tools/devboxes/windows-2022 directory, which contains Packer templates and related scripts to aid in building a QEMU VM running a Windows Server 2022 Desktop guest OS, intended to help test workerd on Windows, when you do not have a Windows machine handy. At present, this has only been tested on a Linux host. This was originally based on https://github.com/StefanScherer/packer-windows/blob/main/windows_2022.json, then heavily modified. The build is split up into two separate Packer builds: an installation build, and a provisioning build which works on a copy-on-write image backed by the installation build's output. This is done so that working on the provisioning step doesn't require you to complete a full reinstallation of Windows first.

I see we now have the https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd-tools/ repo. I wonder if that's a better place for this. |
