[ccan] [PATCH 0/9] configurator: Support for Windows and MSVC

[Kevin Locke]

Hi all,

This patch series adds support for building configurator with Microsoft
Visual C++ and running it on Windows.  The motivation is to add
sufficient support for Windows to allow using header-only modules
with minimal hassle.  For me, this patch series is sufficient, so I
don't have any further plans for changes to other files or the build
system at the moment.

The two patches that are particularly likely to raise objections are
patch 3 and 8:

Patch 3 adds a copy of the err.h functions used by configurator to work
around the lack of err.h on Windows.  If this is too much code to lump
into configurator.c, I can split it out (and copy err.{c,h} verbatim
from musl) or call fprintf+exit directly.

Patch 8 adds the output cflag (-o) to DEFAULT_CFLAGS and the expected
configurator cflags argument.  This changes both the configurator API
and the config.h API and will break existing code which depend on these.
If that is unacceptable, I'd be open to implementing a
backwards-compatible alternative.  One idea would be to add an
--output-cflag option to configurator, although it will require quite a
bit of argument parsing code.  I'm open to other alternatives as well.

Thanks for considering,
Kevin
