[patch #6448] [MSVC 7/7] Add MSVC Support

[Peter Rosin]

Follow-up Comment #3, patch #6448 (project libtool):

Thanks very much for the feedback,

I'm glad to hear about the success! Previously there has been requests to
test how this patch series behaves on other systems (which are not supposed to
be affected). So, you can help by checking for regressions on whatever other
systems you have available.

In particular, testing for regressions using the cccl script was requested,
but I failed to get cccl to do anything useful in the libtool context. So, any
cccl user out there could also help with testing.

I think the lib-as-archiver patches (i.e. 1/7 and 6/7) are the most intrusive
in the series and they should perhaps be held back. IIRC, the patches work
well with AR=ar as well, so that would not hinder using MSVC as the
compiler/linker. You can test that as well, if you like. Leaving out AR=lib
should be equivalent to saying AR=ar.

Cheers,
Peter
