Builds, links and runs (a simple test exe) on (Win Server 2008r2, 64-bit):
msvc-8.0 - 32

msvc-10.0 - 32
msvc-11.0 - 32

However, there were a bunch of "errors" at some pre-build step, which don't
appear to cause any problems, but are very annoying:

I'm compressing the installers now (this takes substantially longer than
the build), when should I upload them to sourceforge? Before or after the
official release announcement?
