There is also the option of introducing

    #pragma backend ...

that simply injects

    #pragma ...

in the generated C code.

This would enable me to use

    #pragma backend intrinsic( _InterlockedIncrement )

for como-win32-vc*.

I have verified that this results in generated C code that compiles fine 
with the VC backend (by inserting the above #pragma manually at the 
appropriate location).
