If you patch the scripts by changing the option used by the cl command, are there cases where the installation able to complete when using a subst driver? It seems to me that if things work could work even in this case and result in a correct installation, then there is an argument for making the MSVC scripts easier to use for the end-user.
The scripts assume that the 'msvc' folder is three levels deep, 'src/tools/msvc'. If you respect that, you can build with the 'cl /help' patch. Please find attached the patch for so.
