Hmmm... looks like what I really need is access to a bunch of
platforms so that we can try the builds across them.

I'm guessing that what is correct here is

OUTFLAG="-o "

on everything but MSVC and

OUTFLAG="/Fe"

for it.  Are there versions of Make that don't evaluate (strip
quotes) on the right hand side of assignments?
