[tor-bugs] #7309 [Tor]: nmake script wrong main build target output filename
#7309: nmake script wrong main build target output filename

In src/or/Makefile.nmake build target "tor.exe", the commandline does not
include an output filename parameter. MSVC's cl.exe does a strange thing
and guesses the output filename based on the last thing on the list, which
in this case is tor_main.obj. This means that the build output is
tor_main.exe, not tor.exe.
To specify an output filename, add /Fe followed by the filename - without
a space inbetween - somewhere into the commandline. In this case it would
be /Fetor.exe.
PS: According to google search nmake supports the standard make token for
'rule target', implying that /Fe$@ (for compiler) and /out$@ (for linker)
could work and might be useful in a future cleanup.
