Hi all,

So with the new build system it is now possible to build PyViennaCL on
Windows. I only have Windows in a virtual machine, so it would be good
to know if it works on hardware with a proper OpenCL implementation. If
any of you are interested, read on!

You'd need to grab the sources using git from GitHub[1], and have Python
installed. I've tested the build only with Python 2.7 (not Python 3),
and so you'll need the Windows SDK for Windows 7 with .NET 3.5[2], since
that contains the compiler with which Python 2.7 is built. You'll also
need NumPy, which you can download from [3].

Then, having got those installed, you'll need to follow the instructions
in README.rst. Note that you'll probably need to specify
`--cl-lib-dir=SOME-PATH` as an option to configure.py, or turn off
OpenCL using `--no-use-opencl`.

Then just try 'python setup.py build' and 'python setup.py install' to
build and install PyViennaCL. To test out PyViennaCL, try running one of
the scripts under tests/ or examples/ in the source tree.
