This is harmless: The "cc" compiler can't be found.  The message will be
annoying when you get it each time.  I'll change it into only putting
the message in the log file.  I can't avoid the "is not recognized..."
message though.

The "msvc" tool currently doesn't use $LIBS.  It's easy to add:

*** tools/msvc.py~	Fri Sep  5 16:58:43 2003
--- tools/msvc.py	Wed Oct 29 12:09:59 2003
***************
*** 48,54 ****
  
      rpstack = [ RecPos("build_msvc action") ]
      action_add(rpstack, rd, str2dictlist(rpstack, "build_msvc object"),
!             ":sys $MSLINK $LINKFLAGS /out:$target $source")
      if not rd.get("MSLINK"):
          rd["MSLINK"] = "link"
      if not rd.get("LINKFLAGS"):
--- 48,54 ----
  
      rpstack = [ RecPos("build_msvc action") ]
      action_add(rpstack, rd, str2dictlist(rpstack, "build_msvc object"),
!             ":sys $MSLINK $LINKFLAGS /out:$target $source $?LIBS")
      if not rd.get("MSLINK"):
          rd["MSLINK"] = "link"
      if not rd.get("LINKFLAGS"):


Please let me know if this works as expected.
