All, Listed below are patches for the build, build_clib and build_ext commands to support a new option "--compiler=compiler_type". This is a prerequisite for supporting compiler types other than the default (and specifically, supporting Borland's compiler on Windows). These patches are against the latest CVS version of the distutils.
