[gdal-dev] Release of a GDAL 2.0.x and 2.1.x Visual Studio 2010 Solution (static and dynamic lib)

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Ivan,

I gave the script a good run-through today with Visual Studio 2015.  It 
works great!  Very nice to use the features of the IDE, I really like 
how it runs off of the setting in nmake.opt   Here are some comments:

  - When you run the script, the examples that it displays are missing 
the second switch (platform).
  - In the IDE after you've loaded "makefileproj_vs14.vcxproj", in the 
"Solution Explorer" panel there is text of "Visual Studio 2013" for some 
reason
  - (just for the record) I had to of course configure my "VC++ 
Directories" settings of the project first, to find SDK lib locations
  - I updated the wiki with these notes: 
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildingOnWindows#GeneratingVisualStudioProject

Great work!

-jeff
