[LLVMdev] Final Visual Studio Patches

[Reid Spencer]

We could add the MSVS project files to the repository but I too would like to 
see a single mechanism for building on all platforms. Someone mentioned using 
the Boost build system a few weeks ago but I haven't heard anything more on how 
that effort is going.  I also think we can customize our existing makefiles to 
use the underlying (command oriented) tools under MSVS. We'd still need cygwin 
for this solution but at least we could compile with an MS compiler.
