MSVC_VERSION
------------
The version of Microsoft Visual C/C++ being used if any.
If a compiler simulating Visual C++ is being used, this variable is set
to the toolset version simulated as given by the ``_MSC_VER``
preprocessor definition.
Known version numbers are::
1200 = VS 6.0
1300 = VS 7.0
1310 = VS 7.1
1400 = VS 8.0 (v80 toolset)
1500 = VS 9.0 (v90 toolset)
1600 = VS 10.0 (v100 toolset)
1700 = VS 11.0 (v110 toolset)
1800 = VS 12.0 (v120 toolset)
1900 = VS 14.0 (v140 toolset)
1910-1919 = VS 15.0 (v141 toolset)
