Details

The mozilla-build package we distribute to quickly get a Windows build environment ships emacs. We should ensure that editor is preconfigured with the appropriate eslint plugin.

I've just realised this would be more of a Mozilla build thing. I'm not convinced that we should necessarily do this, since Emacs use isn't significant, it'd be nice to have maybe.

eslint requires NodeJS, and MozillaBuild doesn't have Node built-in, and it's a heavyweight dependency.
Besides, it's a bit goofy that MozillaBuild carries any IDEs or developer editing tools in the first place - those should be installed and used by developers themselves, especially when the embedded "blessed" tools are as tricky to learn as emacs.

TL;DR: the workaround here is to manually install Emacs and set it up with eslint outside of MozillaBuild :)
