OK)

Unfortunately not.  First I had to figx my broken Visual Studio
command batch.  :)

Then it did this:

- --------------

z:\ecl\ecl\src\c\character.d(30) : warning C4715: 'ecl_char_code' : not all control paths return a value
        cl -c /MD /EHsc /DGC_DLL /nologo -DGC_BUILD -DECL_API="__declspec(dllexport)" -I./ -I../ -I..\..\src\c -I..\..\src/gc/include  -I..\..\src/gc/include/pr
ivate /Fofile.obj file.c file.c

Stop.

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'

Stop.

Fixing the obvious typo got this:

- --------------
Z:\ecl\ecl\msvc>nmake

cmp asdf sockets rt defsystem profile
(cons :wants-profile (cons :wants-defsystem (cons :wants-rt (cons :wants-sockets
 (cons :wants-asdf (cons :wants-cmp (cons :wants-dlopen *features*)))))))

Stop.

Changing "ERROR" to "err" on the relevant lines fixed that;
apparently MSVC doesn't like capitalized goto tags.

Then I got:

- --------------

Z:\ecl\ecl\msvc>nmake

(cons :wants-profile (cons :wants-defsystem (cons :wants-rt (cons :wants-sockets
 (cons :wants-asdf (cons :wants-cmp (cons :wants-dlopen *features*)))))))

Stop.

Not yet sure what to do with that one.
