The "compile MSVC in source directory" feature has caused me loss of several hours because subsequent ./configure on Linux did not manage to use the FFI :-( :-(

As a consequence, addition of FFI features had been delayed for over two weeks.

Suggestion: maybe MSVC INSTALL should mention this problem.

To get rid of the problem, I removed inside src/ffcall/ all .h files for which there was a .h.in file. Now I can configure & compile & test on Linux again.
