GCC-like msvc/cl wrapper for "Bash on Windows"

gcc2msvc

This program is a wrapper for msvc's cl.exe and intended to be used with Windows 10's "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" shell. It is invoked with gcc options (only a limited number) and turns them into msvc options to call cl.exe. The msvc options may not exactly do the same as their gcc counterparts.

Configuration

The default search paths are set at compile time through header files. See the files in the config directory for examples.
