Using Makefile with MSVC on example of libsqlite3_unicode

Cygwin Makefile can be used for building C programs with Visual Studio C compiler in simple regular way without .sln files.

Here I have an examaple on GitHub: https://github.com/Zensey/sqlite3_unicode
It is an minimized extension w/o external dependencies, which adds support of Unicode to sqlite3 used for search and sort operations with non-latin strings.

To build this extension under Windows platform simply run make in Cygwin terminal or run mk.cmd. Below you can see how this Makefile is arranged. Note, that variable M is used to set target architecture of executable object.

	CC = cl
	LIBS = kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib
	M = /MACHINE:X86
	#M = /MACHINE:X64
	CFLAGS = /MD /GS /GL /W3 /Gy /Zc:wchar_t /I"..\sqlite-autoconf-3130000" /Gm- /O2 /sdl /fp:precise /D "_WINDLL" /D "_MBCS" /errorReport:prompt /WX- /Zc:forScope /Gd /Oi /EHsc /nologo /c
	LINK = /ERRORREPORT:PROMPT /NOLOGO /NXCOMPAT /DYNAMICBASE /OPT:REF /OPT:ICF /IMPLIB:"ext.lib" /DLL /TLBID:1 /LTCG
	RM = rm -f
	default: all
	all: Hello
	Hello: sqlite3_unicode.c
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(M) sqlite3_unicode.c
	link.exe $(LINK) $(M) sqlite3_unicode.obj /OUT:"unicode.dll"
	clean veryclean:
	$(RM) Hello
