It wasn't. Emacs still does not build with the latest Microsoft compiler. The solution is to use static libraries rather than dynamic, but the multithreaded static library was missing some functions we need, and the singlethreaded static library, which is what we use with earlier versions of the Microsoft compiler, has been removed from the latest release.What do you recommend we do now? Should we simply say, "Microsoft's compiler is broken, so use GCC"?
We should document that the latest version of msvc will not work, yes. I don't see a point in putting a lot of effort into supporting it anymore. In the past there wasn't a suitable port of gcc to Windows so we put more effort into making sure Emacs compiled with every version of msvc.
