Answered in the Q&A video that followed the one you linked to. The project will be avoiding OS specific code as much as possible so I can't see a there being a dependency on visual studio. http://youtu.be/I5fNrmQYeuI?t=11m21s

There's also a quite detailed talk by Herb Sutter on channel 9 as well. http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2013/2-306
