Thank you Tom!  I would love it if, after testing, we could consider 
switching our official MSW builds to MSVC.  While the mingw project does 
good work, it is substantially slower and doesn't fully implement C++11, 
particularly the std::async library but not just.  It also doesn't (as 
far as I have found) document which parts don't properly work.  So we 
discover them as we go along.

A note on patch 0009: the auto-generated libcontext seems to be 
substituting windows line termination, so every line is modified.
