cccl: Provide '-' before the options instead of double slash.
		
While compiling Open vSwitch with visual c++ in
a mingw environment, I have observed that "//" before
options does not work for all the compiler options of
MSVC. Using "-" on the other hand seems to work.

Also, echo the command line options passed to
the MSVC compiler.

commit c9b94429894d34fc84bd0db4f9805b5e59f7e454

cccl: A wrapper that calls visual c++ compiler.
		
One option to compile Open vSwitch code in windows
is to use Visual c++ compiler.

>From http://cccl.sourceforge.net/ :
"cccl is a wrapper around Microsoft Visual C++'s cl.exe
and link.exe.  It converts Unix compiler parameters
into parameters understood by cl and link.  cccl's main
use is for using Unix build processes with Microsoft
compilers. Using cccl in conjunction with ports of Unix
utilities, it is possible to build many Unix packages
using MSVC, without modifying the build process."

There are couple of forks of the project in the internet.
