Research direction
Review the attached cmake.patch and fcontext.patch first, focusing on the llvm-ml command options and symbol-export handling described in the issue. Reproduce compilation of boost.context with clang-cl and llvm-ml, then verify that 64-bit builds succeed without breaking existing functionality.

Description
Hi all,
I thought I'd share 2 patches that I needed to successfully compile boost.context on clang-cl with llvm-ml. I think these can't exactly be applied as-is without breaking existing functionality, but it basically stems down to /quiet not being supported, and needing to pass --m64 to enable 64-bit aka the mt64.exe equivalent. The other thing is how symbols get exported, the PROC call doesn't support EXPORT however __declspec(dllexport) on the C signature does work.
Kind regards
