[x264-devel] Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 & x264

[Steven Walters]

Since there was some belief (hope) that MSVS 2013 RTM would have
enough C99 support to build x264, I downloaded it and tried it out.

It looks like MS managed to add a good bit of C99 compatibility around
the headers and libraries, but it looks like they didn't manage to get
around to all the compiler features.
Particularly mixed declarations & statements is still not fully supported.

With x264 heavily utilizing this particular feature, x264 still
doesn't compile in Visual Studio without patching.

Maybe next release.
