Don't forget that the "Microsoft Visual Studio" and "Microsoft Visual
C(++)" version number don't have to match. The Visual Studio number
are generally years (recently: 2005, 2008, 2010 and now 2012) while
Visual C(++) is numbered more normally (respectively: 8.0, 9.0 10.0
and now probably 11.0). So the new one could be Visual Studio 2012
with Visual C++ compiler 11.0. Also, in future Microsoft are planning
decoupling the IDE from the compiler so we should keep the mkspec
following the compiler I guess.
