Can't build with NMAKE #4

Stop.

It must be something trivial, but I can't see what's wrong.
I've just build rl_json using the same Tcl and compiler with (almost) no problems.

The relevant aspects of the build system should be essentially the same as rl_json, but I don't think as much effort (any?) has been put into building parse_args on windows. I have updated and unified some aspects of it (TIP445 handing) for the version 0.3.4.1 release so maybe it works now?
Eyeballing it, win/makefile.vc in rl_json seems to have configuration for the correct build targets (rl_json.obj, etc), whereas parse_args doesn't look right (there is no main.c in this project). Taking a wild guess I'd say:
should be
Patches welcome :)

Looking back, apnadkarni did get it building on windows, but back then the main file was called main.c I think, so hopefully changing the makefile.vc will just work.
Not sure how to handle the TIP445 test in there though - it needs to be feature tested against the target Tcl version to see if the compatibility shims need to be defined. The code to do that is in aclocal.m4, but I don't know what the equivalent would be using the TIP477 approach.

at the moment I can't build parse_args even on Linux:
My tcl.h:
