Yes, I was working on that some time ago and I was able to enable NLS
(and many other dependencies) on Windows CI image by using the
dependencies from Dave Page's winpgbuild repository [1]. I was going
to share these changes but some other things came up and this one got
delayed. I am planning to return to this again soon.
As an example, I re-generated the Windows CI image and tested it with
VS 2019 [2] and VS 2022 [3]. There are 3 tests failed on both but they
are not related to NLS. A portion of configure output:
