Use clang-cl for Windows #3072

I am trying to build the llnode module on Windows, which can only be built with clang-cl. The project previously (ab)used the passthrough of arguments to msbuild to configure the CLToolPath and CLToolExe properties, which has hence been fixed in #1164. (nodejs/llnode#321, nodejs/llnode#377)

I have attempted the following to no avail,

  1. Add in binding.gyp
"msbuild_settings": {
    "ClCompile": {
        "CLToolPath": "<(cl_tool_path)",
        "CLToolExe": "<(cl_tool_exe)",
    },
},

This does put the properties into the vcxproj, but in the ClCompile section. https://stackoverflow.com/a/31362960/12385184

  1. CC and CXX environment variables (Build defaults to x86 on a x64 Windows machine. How to force an x64 build? #2813 (comment))

This does have some effect on the configure phase, but only accepts GCC (not CL) compatible compilers, and it has no effect on the building phase which still uses CL.exe.


This issue might be a case of #1537 if there is no special way to specify the compiler executable on Windows.
