I got inspired yesterday about checking out the first time
how cross-platform programs are supposed to be done. I installed
VC++ express, then I read that win32 development is not "supported" by
default (although I could compile and run a simple C++ hello world?),
so I downloaded another 400+ MB of that platform sdk, installed it,
downloaded gtkmm-dev-*.exe, it brought the gtk runtime. Then I saw
that the gtk runtime installer was trying to detect and integrate
itself (?) with "MSVS" and "MSVC" (and mingw and cygwin). However,
it did not detect my VC++. I was tired already anyway and left it
for another time.

After some searching through MARC I saw that there are people who
got it working (Cedric?), but AFAIK there is no published
explanation of what needs to be done (and why). The instructions
in the gtkmm book for mingw/dev-c++ are fine, but I believe that it
is time to have the same for VC++.

I propose that someone starts a page on the gtkmm wiki with what he has,
and others (I'll be one of course) can follow up. When it becomes good
enough, we can move it to the gtkmm book.
