Here after much tedious testing are some perl replacements for src/tools/msvc/build.bat and src/tools/msvc/vcregress.bat, as previouslty discussed on -hackers. They do not exhibit the error reporting problems I have had on XP, and they work nicely with a slightly modified buildfarm script. There is one failure - the ECPG checks fail to build. The error I get is shown below - not sure why on earth it can't find MSVCRT.lib.
There are also a few things to tidy up before I commit this, but I'm happy because it has proved much less fragile than the existing scripts in cooperating with the buildfarm. I am also turning my attention to fixing the use of "dir" in Install.pm.
