It is not a patch series, it is single patch that adds a new macro that is modeled after AM_PROG_CC_C_O, some tests to catch regressions and a plethora of trivial updates to the testsuite. Ah, and the little portability warning of course, triggered when building libraries w/o AM_PROG_AR in configure... Anyway, I have rebased the patch on top of the current msvc branch and have added fixes for fallout in a few new tests etc. The testsuite is ccccrrrraaaaaawwwwllllliiinnnnngggggg along, I'll post the updated patch as soon as it finishes satisfactory. I just wanted to post this in case it improves the odds of making the release... Cheers, Peter
