compile.test and compile2.test still covers the original non-msvc stuff,
and they PASS according to your log.

Now I wonder where I should commit this and how it should find its way
to master.  If I commit to tests-init, we need to backport to msvc and
maint before 1.11.2 or we'll face failing tests there.

Should I first commit to msvc, then merge and fixup the defs.in->defs
change when going to tests-init and then merge to master?  Or should
I skip the tests-init hop and aim directly for master?  Or should I
ignore any future failures in 1.11.2 for the time being and start
committing on tests-init?

Cheers,
Peter
