Visual C++ has a clang-based driver, available through the
clang-cl wrapper (which provides the same interface as
cl) - this generates objects binary-compatible with the
default (traditional) driver, and can then be linked in
the normal way. As such, this patch simply configures for
MSVCC and then overwrites the cl compiler with clang-cl
in the environment.
Clang gives (subjectively) much more understandable compiler warnings
and errors than MSVCC, which was my motivation for switching.
