[M3devel] cl on windows

[Jay K]

Either delete Cygwin's link.exe or make sure VC's is earlier in %PATH%.
Cygwin's link.exe is a synonym for ln.exe.

Here are my mine for many environments.
Of particular interest are:
env\cm3\cm3.cygwin.bat
env\cm3\cm3.vc90.bat
env\test.bat used to work but I've deleted some of the toolsets

You can see a lot of it works via composition.

cm3.vc90.bat uses env\ms\vc90.bat
