#10922: Fails to link python-extension project when msvc target is used
-------------------------------------------+---------------------------

     Type:  Bugs                           |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined               |  Component:  build
  Version:  Boost Development Trunk        |   Severity:  Showstopper
 Keywords:  python-extension build msvc    |
-------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 For `python-extension` boost.build project, using target msvc, on link
 stage the command line is generated incorrectly and the build fails.

 Generated command line:
 {{{
 link
  /NOLOGO /INCREMENTAL:NO /DLL /NOENTRY /DEBUG /MACHINE:X86 /MANIFEST
  /subsystem:console
  /out:"bin\msvc-12.0\debug\threading-multi\mytest.pyd"
  /IMPLIB:"bin\msvc-12.0\debug\threading-multi\mytest.pdb"
  /LIBPATH:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Python34\libs"
  @"bin\msvc-12.0\debug\threading-multi\mytest.pyd.rsp"
 }}}

 Error displayed: `LINK : fatal error LNK1207: incompatible PDB format in
 'D:\Temp\test\bin\msvc-12.0\debug\threading-multi\mytest.pdb'; delete and
 rebuild`

 Note the `IMPLIB` part referencing the `.pdb` file instead of the `.lib`
 file.

 Steps to reproduce:
  - unpack the attachment
  - copy the boost lib to `boost` directory
  - copy boost.build to `boost-build` directory
  - run `boost-build\bin\b2`
  - or `boost-build\bin\b2 target=msvc-12`

 Tested with msvc 10 and 12. Standard shared library/dll project compiles
 fine.
