It wasn't. Emacs still does not build with the latest Microsoft 
compiler. The solution is to use static libraries rather than dynamic, 
but the multithreaded static library was missing some functions we need, 
and the singlethreaded static library, which is what we use with earlier 
versions of the Microsoft compiler, has been removed from the latest 
release.
