The "cl" command that translates calls to Microsoft Visual C compiler needs to add some support for additional switches.

One in particular is the "/TP" which is identical in function to "/Tp" which is already supported.  The reason is for tools like SCons who use that switch.

I also noticed that the /I directives were not being translated to -I like the dmc tool likes.  Is there any reason for alarm?

BTW, the MSDN article with all the compiler options is at this location:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore/html/_core_compiler_options_listed_by_category.asp


Some of them map directly to DMC options such as:
 /GR to -Ar


Also, some things should always be on for C++ compilation if we are using a translation from "cl" to "dmc" such as:

-Ae -Ab -Aw

(all of these are defaults in the current "cl" file from Microsoft)
