This still isn't fully correct.

First, the check should be widened to inculde Drivers.
Secondly, /SECTION:INIT,D should only be used for Kernel or Drivers, not 
Native apps. Thirdly, /ALIGN:4096 is irrelevant -- this is the default. 
Kernel should get 0x80, and drivers should get 0x20.
Fourthly, Kernel entrypoint should be hard-coded to KiSystemStartup, 
while Native apps shoudl be hardcoded to NtProcessStartup. This is 
especially important so that nt.lib will get used properly.
Also, NativeCUI is a bit repetitive. Native can only be CUI.
Drivers should also be compiled with /DRIVER.
Native, Kernel and Drivers should have /NODEFAULTLIB.
/FORCE:MULTIPLE is ugly and I don't know why it was added.
