RE: Simplifying Makefile.vc on Windows (Was Re: Has anyone...)

["ooiwt" <ooiwt@comp.nus.edu.sg>]

The patches for various makefile.vc can be found at:

http://www.bmrc.berkeley.edu/~weitsang/makefile.vc.diffs.tar.gz

I have removed all references to MSVC directories, and renamed
some variables (LIB/INCLUDE) to avoid conflicts with predefined
variables from MSVC. 

To compile, run vcvars32 from the appropriate installation of
MSVC, and then run "build".  

It would be great if someone can try it out on MSVC 6.0 and 
MSVC .NET and let me know if you encounter any problems.  The
patched makefiles should run on both versions.  Thanks!

Other changes:
- removed are options (-GD) from the Makefiles for Tcl/Tk8.3 
  because it generates warning on MSVC .NET,   and this option 
  does not do anything anyway (MSVC6 claims it is reserved for 
  future optimization of DLLs)

- I cannot find guids.lib.  (Does it comes with MSVC6?)
  So I temporarily disabled DirectX on this version of Makefile.  
  Anyone know how to fix this?  (has it been replaced? do I need 
  to install additional SDK?)
