How to compile v6.0.0 using VS 2015 build tools (v140)?

[humatic]

This isn't a bug, nor a feature request. Rather, I'm wondering how hard it would be to build v6.0.0 for Windows using the v140 toolset. I see that older versions of zeromq.js used the v140 toolset, but now you're at v141. Is there any easy way to accomplish this?

I attempted to edit the binding.gyp so that it had 'msbuild_toolset': 'v140', but that produced vague build errors that I don't know how to interpret.

I need this because the Windows devices that I need to deploy on do not have the v141 runtime DLLs. I also tried downgrading to zeromq.js v5.2.0, but it turns out that my verson of Electron (v9.0.5) isn't in the list of prebuilt binaries. If I'm going to go through the trouble of building these binaries from scratch (and it's a LOT of trouble), then I'd prefer to have the latest zeromq.js.

Thanks for any feedback!
