I think at some point the Makefile parsing code was too stupid to deal
with the src/port Makefile, so it was hardcoded; later probably I
cargo-culted that into the src/common makefile.  Maybe the parser has
already improved (or the makefile simplified) that the msvc tooling can
extract the files from the makefile?  Dunno.
