[OS] Mods to fix ASL & socket library specs

I can't get ThirdParty/ASL to work.

When I run COMPILE_MS_ASL after doing

  /home/kmartin/COIN-OS/configure  --enable-debug

I get the error

$ compile_MS_ASL

NMAKE : fatal error U1065: invalid option 'j'
Stop.
mv: cannot stat `amplsolv.lib': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `stdio1.h': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `arith.h': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `funcadd0.obj': No such file or directory

I will investigate further.

Bob and Jun -- what happens when you run?

Thanks
