[Scons-dev] nologo is always added to MSVC builds

[Bill Deegan]

Certainly it shouldn't be present for mingw builds.

I'd add:
3.  Add the /nologo flag in the MSVC initialization so it's never added for
mingw to have to remove.

Seems /nologo is a reasonable default don't you think?
If we change it, likely many tests will need to be updated.
