I would suggest a simpler approach to MSVC support.  Just forget the whole
Make-style build, and just build using CMD.  The C compiler (as distinct
from the C++ compiler) is fast enough to rebuild everything every time
without much headache.  And there really isn't anything to conditionalize
on if you are using MSVC with the exception of 32-bit vs. 64-bit,
so you can just have the CMD script(s) copy msvc{32,64}-config.h to
chicken-config.h.
