Should we remove all the other GCC extensions too?  I'm really sick of
all those asm("") things and C++ "features".  They should produce
syntax errors just like VC++ does!  What kind of compiler *is* GCC if
it can't even be 100% compatible with Microsoft!?!  I have a script
that renames all the gnu tools to their microsoft equivalents if
anybody wants it, and a patch to gcc to accept VC-style options like
/LIBRARY.
