[ODE] Configurator ( was Re: Finally back! )

[Royce Mitchell III]

Hello Russ,

Here's the command line to build configurator with VC command-line:

cl -DdSINGLE configurator.c

Here's the command line I passed it:

configurator.exe include/ode/config.h cl del c:\ode\

One of the changes was so that my command line didn't need to be this:

configurator.exe include/ode/config.h "cl " del c:\ode\

(basically I was getting an error that the system didn't recognize the
command "clctest.exe")

The strstr check is in there because cl.exe (vc6 compiler) can't
handle this:

cl ctest.exe ctest.c

So, if I detected the compiler was CL, I don't stick the executable
name in the command-line, so I get this instead:

cl ctest.c

Here's the example output from configurator as-is in cvs:

please fix your configuration and try again.
if you have to fix the configurator program or the makefiles, please email
your changes to the ODE mailing list (ode@q12.org).
