[issue26876] Extend MSVCCompiler class to respect environment variables

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

I still want the behavior I described, since there's no value in overriding just the executable name but not the rest of the path.

For 2.7 I think this'll help with long term maintainability enough to be the Right Thing. For 3.5 I'm not as sure, but it's probably worth keeping the implementations consistent as long as we can justify it.
