There seems to be initial efforts in 1.4 to build on Windows with Visual
Studio, but the build fails in numerous ways.

The first problem was that most of the 2005 .sln files didn't exist; OK, I
imported the VC6 .dsw workspace, which generated the necessary solution and
project files.  Then I pulled the main .sln and libevent.vcproj files back out
of the tar file, to write over the old and decrepit VC6 versions that don't
include most of the source.

Then I had to move event-config.h from the main source directory into
WIN32-Code/, and comment out _EVENT_HAVE_UINT32_T and _EVENT_HAVE_UINT64_T
from it.

After all that, I can build libevent but none of the test programs, so it's
hard to tell whether it works at all or not.  I'm still plugging away, and I'd
be happy to share the newly-created .sln files, but does anyone have more
positive experiences?  Is there something fundamental I'm missing?
