llvm dev - May 2008 - [LLVMdev] patch for building llvm on Windows with MSVC 2008

These are the updated .sln and .vcproj files for building llvm with MSVC 
2008.
It turned out that the compiling errors were because these projects wasn't 
updated to reflect the actual status of the llvm files.
I checked all the files (removed, moved or added) and now they are ok.
It compiles all targets from the first "Build Solution", both for
Debug and
for Release mode. You need the latest release_23 files. I also added a 
compiling.txt with some notes.
The .sln and .vcproj files now are updated to the 2008 version of MSVC 
Express (my development environment). If you want to keep compatibility with 
MSVC 2005, someone with that environment needs to take the old project files 
and sync them with the current llvm files.

TODO

Not all llvm subprojects have a corresponding .vcproj. Notably msil, ia64 or 
other examples than Fibonacci doesn't have it. It is very simple to add it, 
following the model of the current projects in solution, but I don't want to
make these now.

I committed this, thanks:

Please verify that this works for you.  If so, we can pull it into the 
llvm 2.3 release.

Sure, sounds like a second step we can do for llvm 2.4 if there is 
interest.  Thanks!

I verified the patch and it compiles all the targets, both in Debug and 
Release modes.

If there is no someone else to keep the MSVC projects files updated, I will 
try from time to time to update them and to add the new targets.
Maybe a note must be put in "docs/GettingStartedVS.html" at the
Requirements
section that llvm needs now MSVC (Express) 2008 to compile.
