Hi,
Attached is a patch to use VC8 specific optimization options. FTR, VC8
no longer supports the /Gn processor code generation directive, and the
makefile now uses link time code generation when not optimizing for space.
Enjoy.

Why the test on "!if "$(_NMAKE_VER)" == "8.00.50727.42" ? Are you sure the old
behaviour will be the right thing to do with _any_ older _or_ newer version?
Shouldn't we rather assume that versions 8.0 "or later" of MSVC will require
the new arguments? We should provide as best as we can for future versions, to
avoid, if possible, the need for constant re-patching of the makefile with
every new version that Gates & Co will decide to publish.
Best regards,
Tony
