       folder would fail on import (i.e., the relative import paths become invalid when
       moved).
-    - The detection of the msvc compiler executable (cl.exe) has been modified.  The
-      compiler detection no longer considers the host os environment path.  In addition,
-      existence of the msvc compiler executable is checked in the detection dictionary
-      and the scons ENV path before the detection dictionary is merged into the scons
-      ENV.  Different warnings are produced when the msvc compiler is not detected in the
-      detection dictionary based on whether or not an msvc compiler was detected in the
-      scons ENV path (i.e., already exists in the user's ENV path prior to detection).
+    - The detection of the msvc compiler executable (cl.exe) has been modified:
+        * The host os environment path is no longer evaluated for the existence of the
+          msvc compiler executable when searching the detection dictionary.
+        * The existence of the msvc compiler executable is checked in the detection
+          dictionary and the scons ENV path before the detection dictionary is merged
+          into the scons ENV.
+        * Different warnings are produced when the msvc compiler is not detected in the
+          detection dictionary based on whether or not an msvc compiler was detected in
+          the scons ENV path (i.e., a msvc compiler executable already exists in the
+          user's ENV path prior to detection).
+        * The warning message issued when a msvc compiler executable is not found in the
+          detection dictionary was modified by adding the word "requested":
+            Old warning: "Could not find MSVC compiler 'cl'."
+            New warning: "Could not find requested MSVC compiler 'cl'.".
+        * An additonal sentence is appended to the warning message issued when an msvc
+          compiler executable is not found in the msvc detection dictionary and is found
+          in the user's ENV path prior to detection:
+            " A 'cl' was found on the scons ENV path which may be erroneous."
