Yes, we do want support for testmodules. I think that needs to be built
into src/tools/msvc, probably in vcregress.pl. Once we have that the
buildfarm changes will be trivial. But if that's not forthcoming quickly
I can just avoid the step on msvc for now.

We've handled the buildfarm being red for a few days before. People are
usually good about applying fixes fairly quickly.
