We need only basic stuff here. I think there is a big chance that it
compiles on the various VS versions and OSs. Of course, testing it
explicitly is always a good thing.

I think we start with one setting and than everybody will find out for
himself if it works with his compiler/OS and then suggest patches. But
we need one master setting in order to keep things simple.

Windows 7, VS2008 is not a bad choice. Thats what we are working with
and thats what we will test our port with.
