[LLVMdev] build on windows

[Sampsa Lehtonen]

Quang, you need to set Configure to Utility type. For some reason it 
gets messed up in the conversion process to VS2008. Go to Configure 
properties / General and put Utility in Configuration Type. It helped on me.

Also some h/cpp files might be dislocated, at least I needed to relocate 
AsmParser files...

Then it should work just fine except some projects recompile excessively 
for unknonwn reason if errors appear in other projects (like if you're 
messing around with Fibonacci sources...)

Hope this helps.
