Use NMake Makefiles for building with Visual Studio

Chun-wei Fan requested to merge master.nmake into master

Hi,

This moves the build system for Visual Studio to NMake Makefiles, which has the following advantages:

  • Easier to maintain, and more flexible. They will share the autotools filelist.am so that file listings will only need to be updated in the various filelist.am's. One can now pass in options to the NMake command line to determine what are being built.

  • Tests are now buildable against master.

  • Tests are now built with Visual Studio builds as well.

With blessings, thank you!
