set TARGET_ARCH to "x86" or "x86_64" (various synonyms are
accepted).
+ In addition, MSVC_USE_SCRIPT can be used to bypass the
+ above autodetection; setting it to the path of a Visual
+ Studio .bat file (e.g. vcvars.bat) will cause SCons to
+ run that bat file and extract the relevant variables
+ from the result (typically %INCLUDE%, %LIB%, and %PATH%).
+ Setting MSVC_USE_SCRIPT to None bypasses the Visual Studio
+ autodetection entirely; use this if you are importing
+ the shell env and running SCons in a Visual Studio cmd window.
+
Note that if you use MSVS_VERSION to build Visual Studio
projects from your SConstructs, MSVS_VERSION must be set to
the same version as MSVC_VERSION.
