I couldn't see anything like that. Do you mean, Tools -> External Tools 
-> Add, then you have to /tell/ it the execution path and command 
options to use?

If I knew those, I wouldn't need VS to tell me! I can set it up myself. 
I would expect VS to /know/ exactly how to bring up a command prompt 
with the right environmental variables set up so that CL can be used 
from anywhere.

If I know where to click, and they do job, then no.
