Please review a fix for

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~anthony/8-46-full-vs2012.0/
These changes look fine.
We're not yet switching JDK builds to VS2012. However, the vsvars.sh
script is useful for other applications in order to set up the build
environment, so I think the proposed changes should be useful. Once we
start using VS2012 (or VS2014, or whatever it will be) for JDK, the
vsvars.sh will already support that.
Changing compilers needs to come down from the release team. I hope you
realize that. If they do not make a decision soon, VS2012 or later will
wait until JDK9.
