possible to compile CELT using Visual Studio? The first issue I ran into was
that VS doesn't support the 'restrict' keyword. It does have
__restrict which appears to be slightly different -

There is a regular in the CELT IRC channel who has a C# application
using CELT. His wrappers are available online, but I'm not sure if
thats his latest work. I'll prod him to come comment here when I see
him.
As far as I can tell that page is stating that __restrict is the same
as C99 restrict. You should be able to #define it. It can also be
defined as nothing: Restrict is an optional compiler hint for better
performance.

Thanks for the reminder to rebuild the windows binaries.
As far as the ".def" files goes, I have no clue what those are.
libcelt-0.dll is built with mingw32, which has the nice quality of
being available to us Linux developers as well as the advantage of
keeping things on our primary tool-chain (GCC). Perhaps the
previously mentioned wrapper includes one.
