I have fixed up win32fe to process '@cmdfile' args to archiver
correctly. [i.e win32fe does the windows-unix path conversion for this
opton]. So the following now works.

[I'll have to look at fixing up win32fe anyway to get the
FC_MODULE_OUTPUT_FLAG test going properly anyway]

Also - I removed all the compiler/tool autodetection code in
win32fe. [it wasn't working well - and was disabled by default for the
past few releases. And we've been insisting on users setting up
working compiler enviornment via 'compiler cmd' anyway]

BTW: should we move kspams.c into a subdir [srcksp/ksp/interface/ams]
- so that its conditionally compiled?  [or add in a dummy code at the
end of the current #ifdef in code]. This could go into maint
