The recent ecpg commit seems to have broken MSVC builds:

This makes me worry about how fragile the support for MSVC is. If it
can't handle changes like this then we'll forever be breaking things.
That was one of the main reasons we went with MinGW/Msys in the first
place - namely that we'd be using a single build system across all
platforms.
This is not to say that the current build infrastructure is ideal - in
fact I think it's pretty creaky. But I don't think we can accept an
additional system which is always in danger of being out of sync.
Perhaps Magnus could give some precise details about the requirements of
the buildsystem he's constructed.
