[Qgis-developer] Building 0.9 with MS Visual Studio (Express and otherwise)

[David Willis]

I've finally got a patch together that tweaks the code to allow it to be  
built with MS Visual Studio. Most of the changes account for minor  
syntactical oddities. The patch also includes some additions to  
INSTALL.t2t.

My current setup that was used to generate the patch contains most plugins  
bar the GRASS one. I still have issues with the python bindings so that's  
not been tried yet either.

So far I've tried the debug version (which somehow seems more useful at  
the moment...) and it loads the sample data from the QGIS website without  
problems. It also loads WMS data.

As requested by Tim, I'll start working on a Windows installer for the  
various dependencies that should make the whole build process a lot easier.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
David Willis
