qmgr test needs bits.lib to link using the MSVC headers

[Reece Dunn]

Hi,

I have been going through the tests to see if I can make them work
using MSVC headers.

When building the qmgr tests, I have found that you need to add
bits.lib to LIBS (Linker/Input/Additional Dependencies). Doing this
gets the test to link properly.

Does anyone know how to add this to Wine? Adding EXTRALIBS=-lbits to
Makefile.in does not work on Wine itself. Is this the right way to go?

Normally if you were using configure to generate the makefiles and
config.h you would use something like

EXTRALIBS=@BITSLIB@

That would seem to still be the right thing to do, you will just need
to extend msvcmaker to understand what BITSLIB really is and will we
just keep ignoring it on Unix.

See dlls/wininet/Makefile.in for EXTRALIBS=@SOCKETLIB@ for an example.
If your building with mingw configure defines @SOCKETLIB@ to -lws2_32
but if you use Unix this is ignored and we use normal unix sockets.
