MSVC binary package uses a C++ version of the mkoctfile script, compiled
into an EXE file. This code is equivalent to the mkoctfile script, so it indeed
make use of environment variables. However, what's currently not working is
the mkoctfile.m wrapper, because of the way the windows command prompt
handles double quotes.
