Greg Ward 4240648a9d Big patch from Rene Liebscher to simplify the CCompiler API and
implementations.  Details:
  * replace 'link_shared_object()', 'link_shared_lib()', and
    'link_executable()' with 'link()', which is (roughly)
    the union of the three methods it replaces
  * in all implementation classes (UnixCCompiler, MSVCCompiler, etc.),
    ditch the old 'link_*()' methods and replace them with 'link()'
  * in the abstract base class (CCompiler), add the old 'link_*()'
    methods as wrappers around the new 'link()' (they also print
    a warning of the deprecated interface)

Also increases consistency between MSVCCompiler and BCPPCompiler,
hopefully to make it easier to factor out the mythical WindowsCCompiler
class.  Details:
  * use 'self.linker' instead of 'self.link'
  * add ability to compile resource files to BCPPCompiler
  * added (redundant?) 'object_filename()' method to BCPPCompiler
  * only generate a .def file if 'export_symbols' defined

Greg Ward e8e9d11453 Overhauld 'check_config_h()': now returns a (status, details) tuple,
and is much better documented to boot.

Greg Ward b1dceae3df Rene Liebscher:
* use self.debug_print() for debug messages
  * uses now copy.copy() to copy lists
  * added 'shared_lib_extension=".dll"', ... , this is necessary if you
    want use the compiler class outside of the standard distutils build
    process.
  * changed result type of check_config_h() from int to string

Greg Ward bf5c70973f Latest version from Rene Liebscher; major changes:
- added big comment describing possible problems
  - look for and react to versions of gcc, ld, and dlltool; mainly
    this is done by the 'get_versions()' function and the CygwinCCompiler
    and Mingw32CCompiler constructors
  - move 'check_config_h()' to end of file and defer calling it until
    we need to (ie. in the CygwinCCompiler constructor)
  - lots of changes in 'link_shared_object()' -- mostly seems to be
    library and DLL stuff, but I don't follow it entirely

More reformatting by me.
Also added some editorial comments.

Greg Ward 7c6395a6a3 Implementation of the CCompiler class for Cygwin and Mingw32, ie. the two
major ports of GCC to Windows.  Contributed by Rene Liebscher, and quite
untested by me.  Apparently requires tweaking Python's installed config.h
and adding a libpython.a to build extensions.
