MSVC is the popular way of giving an acronym to MS (Microsoft) Visual C++
IDE and compiler.

I am in no way criticizing flexibility, but the current build system is
centered around unix-style build tools, and that is, unfortunately, not very
portable to the windows platform. I am trying to port to windows without the
need for cygwin. But the approach I am using right now duplicates
information in the MSVC project files, which does not help maintenance when
the trunk changes. Take the Boost libraries for example. They are built on
almost every platform known with bjam that is itself a cross platform build
system.
