[LLVMdev] patch for building llvm on Windows with MSVC 2008

[Razvan Aciu]

I verified the patch and it compiles all the targets, both in Debug and 
Release modes.

If there is no someone else to keep the MSVC projects files updated, I will 
try from time to time to update them and to add the new targets.
Maybe a note must be put in "docs/GettingStartedVS.html" at the Requirements 
section that llvm needs now MSVC (Express) 2008 to compile.
