Questions about GRIN++

1. Is there any progress or thoughts that the CC will fund the further development of Grin++?

2. Build from Sources under Windows 10  
I would like to build Grin++. Is there a more detailed guide than:  
[GrinPlusPlus/BUILD.md at master · GrinPlusPlus/GrinPlusPlus · GitHub](https://github.com/GrinPlusPlus/GrinPlusPlus/blob/master/BUILD.md)

- Using vcpkg (does a script exist?)

Yes, there are plans in the making to fund implementing Parallel, Innitial Block Download (PIBD). Also support for biderectional payment proofs should be implemented and PayJoin. All in time.

I took another look at the topic (building the Grin++ node).  
I have described my installation process and troubleshooting here in case anyone else encounters similar problems.
