Hello,

I am writing to follow up on an issue I reported a while ago, and was
being investigated by Yang Tse and Daniel Stenberg. Sorry that it took
some time to follow up on a simple request for some environment
variables, but here they are: :)

Although it isn't a standard configuration, it generally works better
for me than microsoft's nmake or visual studio environment.

Is there a way for me to tell the configure script to use MS
toolchain's options and option syntax?

Yes, the full build environment is at the end of this message.

I am not using the "standard" way to pass configure flags only because
I don't know what the preferred method is. I am definitely open to
suggestions on how to specify these flags.

Although I'm using a tool chain that isn't gcc compatible, this is
still a native build. The build host is able to run the target
executables. I always have considered cross compiling to be
compilation for a different host architecture, and/or when the
object/executable output produced by the compiler can not be run from
the build system.

Kind regards,
