669582 - support using the VC++ compiler shipped with the Windows 7.1 SDK

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: MozillaBuild, task)

Description

[[e-mail]]

MozillaBuild currently detects the 7.1 SDK compiler as VC2010 Pro. It needs to detect this as VC2010 Express. It also needs to work around an apparently broken vcvars32 batch file (tries to look for non-existent files and keys).

While I was there, I added support for the 64-bit 7.x SDK compilers. I wrote it in such a way as to be as consistent between different batch files as possible, to make it easier to support future compilers.

Careful when applying this, the batch files have a mixture of line endings.

Looks fine, but as usual with Mozillabuild, I cross my fingers and pray when changing these batch files.
