[x264-devel] MSVC project files

[Sean McGovern]

You'll welcome a world of hurt if you want to link libx264 compiled with cygwin into an app you've built on MSVC.

I totally agree carrying MSVC would be a bit of a pain..

But given if you want to compile in MSVC, you're likely a programmer,  
its a 10 minute job to install cygwin and you're all done..no?

Or is it the *debugging* of x264 from within VC that people are after?
