I actually don't want the object files. I want the "program database" files
that MSVC produces as it compiles the source and in which it keeps all sorts
of metadata on such things as "call maps" which is what *I* am interested
in.

Like I said earlier on : I want to use the call mapping capability of MSVC
in order to work out dependencies between different code modules.

Naturally, if MinGW (whatever the alternative to MSVC is) can do this too,
I'll drop MSVC and go and build with the other alternative instead.

So, is there anyone out there with experience in building with MSVC who
could help ?

Cheers,

Michael
