[New-bugs-announce] [issue23970] Update distutils.msvccompiler for VC14

[Steve Dower]

New submission from Steve Dower:

Because of the compiler change, we need to rework the detection of MSVC for Python 3.5. I took the opportunity to clean up the entire module and remove msvc9compiler, and updated the tests.
