It is really hard to get all which is necessary and quite easy to miss
important information. The information about the VS option is some line
behind the step to run autogen.sh.
I got stuck with JDK and did not proceed in reading the docs further.
Thanks for pointing out.

Yes, it is expected and normal. We keep the baseline at VS 2019 level
[1] (IIUC, this is what the official builds are created with), and so
VS 2022 requires explicit choice (which is documented in the wiki [2],
which is up-to-date in this regard).
it is not finding JDK, even if it is available. Option
"--with-jdk-home=/cygdrive/c/jdk-21.0.1/bin" is not solving the issue.
The documentation does not say to use path to the bin directory. It
should be like '--with-jdk-home=c:/jdk-21.0.1' (of course, 'cygdrive'
syntax will also work, just don't understand why it's still suggested
(beside the only place where it's relevant - in Unix-style PATH) - I
have just dropped it from wiki).
