[issue7509] AttributeError: MSVCCompiler instance has no attribute '_MSVCCompiler__root'

I don't know about 2.5 but:

Reading the MSVCCompiler class code in trunk, I can see a case where __init__ doesn't create self.__root. (if self.__arch != Intel)
making any call to get_msvc_paths() leading to an error.

You certainly have some kind of unexpected environment when MSVCCompiler is called.

I need to fix this.

If you could help me out by tracing how the compiler is instanciated, taht could help me.
