It would be good if we could verify that the driver is compiled and run when 
compiled with VS Update 4 and Winddk 8.1.
Thanks

Subject: [ovs-dev] [PATCH] INSTALL.Windows.md: Update the minimum required 
compiler.

MSVC 2013 update 4 was released in Nov 2014. Its release notes says that it has 
fixed the problem wherein using designated initializers to initialize unions 
within structs would fail to compile.

Using designated initializers is useful in OVS and so this commit updates the 
minimum required compiler for Windows.

 It is important to get the Visual Studio related environment variables and to  
have the $PATH inside the bash to point to the proper compiler and linker. One
