Alas no, because msvc is *not* merged into maint, so that we don't even
have AM_PROG_AR in maint  :-(

You might instead want to merge maint into msvc, then apply this patch
to msvc, then merge msvc back into branch-1.11 and master.

(I know, the present organization of branches sucks in some respects;
we might rethink it after the 1.11.3 release, OK?)

By only reading this, I'm not sure whether the change is needed to pacify
some automake warning, to improve coverage, or to make the tests runnable
with Microsoft lib as the archiver.  Could you add a paragraph after the
summary line that explicitly specifies what is the patch motivation?

ACK with that addressed.

Thanks,
