[zeromq-dev] Why is the MSVC setup using the C++ compiler for C code?

[Arnaud Loonstra]

Why are zproject projects on Windows forced to use the C++ compiler when 
compiling C code? I know the MSVC compiler is old but using the C++ 
compiler seems to give errors when using the __cplusplus define.

Can anybody recall this?

I also made an issue for this:
