The different name mangling is intentional: with the same mangling scheme the
apps would link, but crash due to incompatible implementions of exceptions,
RTTI, etc.
The borland port seems not to use MFC, indeed. But it looks like the msvc++ and
borland versions share large parts of the code.  Better to have that part in
the tree only once, and abstract the GUI interface.
So I still prefer a win32 subdir over an msvc one: when someone wants to
support borland, s/he can start from there and split out the concrete GUI
calls.

OK, it does not work. But I've found another way, which is more convenient:
With the 'dist-hook' target one can specify commands to run after the dist dir
has been created, but before it has been tarred. Here we can simply copy the
msvc directories. No need for a separate Makefile.am in alls directories.
