This is printed from the local `execute` function in 
`luarocks/build/builtin.lua`, which later calls `fs.execute`, which ends 
up to be the one defined in `luarocks/fs/lua.lua`, which quotes its 
arguments, so
     -Ddummy -std=c99
really is
     '-Ddummy -std=c99'

Btw., I believe compiler support for C99 should be some form of 
(external?) dependency (maybe like the magic "lua" in the dependencies 
table), so that Visual C++ users get a more informative error message 
why some module wouldn't build for them.

     dependencies = {
       "lua ~> 5.1",
       "c >= 99",     --> maybe like this? one could even do
       -- "c == gnu99"    --> for compiler specific modules, but IMHO 
this is going too far ...
     }

An alternative (or maybe an additional feature) would be some form of 
compiler overrides like the current platform overrides, but I think a 
clear message what went wrong is more difficult in this case.
