Wondeful. Absolutely wonderful.
This shouldn't even be too hard: just change makefile.vc to set MSVC 6
options for those switches that haven't been set yet, then make a
makefile.vc7 that sets those options as appropriate for MSVC7 and then
includes makefile.vc. We don't even have to duplicate an entire makefile.
Please, go ahead and make a patch for this.
Going a bit further, we could even use this to solve the annoying `-mcpu is
deprecated' waring in MinGW... though that'd be less easy as most people
wouldn't readily know what version of MinGW they're using and you can
easily check if the version number is larger than some other version
number. I think this may be a bit too much... it's basically turning
fix.bat into a Windows replacement for configure, which I'll fully admit
is something I miss more and more in Windows... but I'm not sure it's the
right way to go.
