Another Windows configure issue: error: Could not figure out what C++ library this is

[Ilmari Lauhakangas]

One of the three new devs who faced an issue of our configure not 
finding VS updated his Windows 8.1 and got one step further, but is now 
stuck with another issue. Any ideas on what to check?
