-Linker shim that enables the use of "Use Library Dependency Inputs" on
-large exe/dlls via Visual Studio.
-
-That flag is required to enable useful incremental linking, however, with a
-large number of objects in components, the linker fails with:
-
-...RSP00002E45885644.rsp : fatal error LNK1170: line in command file contains 131071 or more characters
-
-This seems to be that the IDE team didn't talk to the linker team; the
-response file can handle long commands, just all the files can't be on
-*one* line which is what the IDE generates.
-
-So, this program simply replaces link.exe, fixes the response file, and
-then shells to the original linker. Ridiculous? Yes. Faster links? Yes.
-
-Compile/install with install_supalink.py. Run from cmd.exe as Administrator,
-and make sure to run vsvars32.bat first.
