FYI, I just guessed what the prior content was (I was in a bit of a rush
for some reason). Now I have checked what it really was, which is a wee bit
worse than I thought:

sys_lib_search_path_spec="C \\\\Program Files\\\\Microsoft Visual Studio 
8\\\\VC\\\\ATLMFC\\\\LIB;C \\\\Program Files\\\\Microsoft Visual Studio 
8\\\\VC\\\\LIB;C \\\\Program Files\\\\Microsoft Visual Studio 
8\\\\VC\\\\PlatformSDK\\\\lib;C \\\\Program Files\\\\Microsoft Visual Studio 
8\\\\SDK\\\\v2.0\\\\lib"

I copy-pasted the content for the cases with the patch applied so those
were correct from the start.

Cheers,
