The patch effectively introduces localized strings into "nginx -V" output and, I guess, I just don't see how that is useful. The binary architecture can be deduced from binary itself and random peace of localized string might not be enough for build machine locale identification (and why bother with it, anyway).

And here are some other localizations to consider:
Microsoft (R) C/C++ 최적화 컴파일러 버전 19.29.30147(x64)
用于 x64 的 Microsoft (R) C/C++ 优化编译器 19.29.30147 版

So, I'd suggest to introduce something like NGX_MSVC_VER_LINE and then derive both NGX_MSVC_VER (which would contain only dotted version number) and NGX_MACHINE from it.
