[Sumover-dev] Compile advice on windows xp

As VS 2008 Express is free from Microsoft and comes with C/C++ header files 
(unlike VS 2005 Express), VS 2008 is probably an ideal version to target 
sln/proj files for VIC and RAT.

Sorry I don't know if and VS 2008 sln/proj files are in the works.

I once used VS 2005 Pro with VIC, the original VS 2003 sln/proj files don't 
get converted correctly and require lots of manual correction. Although I 
did end up getting VIC working with VS 2005, I ended up installing VS 2003 
Pro.

I think MinGW is only needed if you want to build the FFMPEG libraries.
