Awesome, thanks! Checked the diff and it looks good. For the wrapper script, a couple things:

diff --git a/README b/README
+path/to/configure --enable-shared --enable-static \
+	CC=path/to/msvcc.sh LD=link \
+	CPP=\"cl -nologo -EP\"

The '--enable-shared --enable-static' aren't necessary, I just happened to use them, so you may want to change that.

Secondly, I put cc.sh under a Mozilla tri-license, because, well, that's what we use 'round here, and Timothy said any license is fine. But if you'd prefer it under a BSD license for consistency, I don't mind.

Finally, I made a mistake in the testsuite patch I sent. So if you were going to apply it, better use this one. :)

Thanks,
Dan.
