~~~ AIM ~~~ the aim of *.vs projects is to provide a well organized and not invasive way to build target open source projects using visual studio (vs.6 and vs.net) ~~~~~~ REASON ~~~~~~ In many situations I was obliged to use visual studio in writing projects, and writing windows software is best suited using this ide. When I had need to use these great open source projects in my applications, I had to use the binaries provided (if) for the win32 environment: but, I think, if it can run in win32, it could also be built using win32 compiler/linker. I know you have to pay for visual studio, but why don't give the opportunity to build using this tool too? Moreover I think that providing these projects could increment the number of coworker programmers. So I decided to provide these visual studio projects.
