So you're saying that in addition to the overly large project files,
we need to also keep and maintain a patch to support its brokenness?
That's no different than supporting it directly and has already been
stated that it is not going to happen.

Like I've already stated earlier, i think the project files are not
worth the bloat nor separate patches to be supported,
I would see doing something like this patch, I've been working every
once in a while, being more efficient.

Which is to have a configure script for MSVC and have the Makefile CMD
prompt compatible.
It would take only minor editing to have it support ICL.
