I see that the patch Andrew posted earlier adjusts Mkvcbuild.pm's
@pgcommonallfiles, so I pushed that fix. The other hunks there should
go into the patch to add a test_json utility, I think. Hopefully that
will fix it, but I guess we'll see.

I was under the impression that the MSVC build gets the list of files
to build by parsing the Makefiles, but I guess that's not true at
least in the case of src/common.
