[Scilab-Dev] Migrating To Visual Studio 2008 on Windows

[Francois Vogel]

Hi all,

Today it builds till the end and the result can even be launched.

And the man pages can also be built. As you mentioned, it's a very
loooonnnng process. Perhaps some more feedback in the VS output window
would be a good idea, I thought it was stuck.

Francois
