-    - The detection of the msvc compiler executable (cl.exe) has been modified.  The

+        * The warning message issued when a msvc compiler executable is not found in the
+          detection dictionary was modified by adding the word "requested":
+            Old warning: "Could not find MSVC compiler 'cl'."
+            New warning: "Could not find requested MSVC compiler 'cl'.".

+          in the user's ENV path prior to detection:
