Re: compile wrapper script with C++ file

that's the problem I just ran into, after adding some extra CPPFLAGS
to a library, like

   libfoo_a_CPPFLAGS=something

which leads to the result, that automake starts to compile
   CL.EXE -c -o libfoo_a_foo.obj foo.c

but CL.EXE always ignores the output name and generates foo.obj.

Just replacing -o by -Fo does not work because this is only true for the
compile step (-c also given) but not for linking.

Since we already have our own CL.EXE wrapper script, we can handle this.

Of course it we would be nice, if this handling would be already done
by compile,
but there are many other issues with other compilers (i.a. armcc)
which still require
own wrappers.
