[ome-devel] Building omero cpp libraries under winxp.

Hi Jerome,

sorry for the horribly long silence.  Jean-Marie mentioned that he had
talked with you, so I'll assume you don't hold it against me. :)

Right. Finally! I've managed to beat Scons+VS2008 into submission. The
omero_client.lib files are being generated. And I assume things will
work similarly for VS2005. Very interested in getting your feedback.

I've also updated

  https://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/wiki/OmeroCpp

for the release. Let me know if anything's unclear, or there are
tips/tricks you'd add.

Gladly, just sorry I couldn't do it faster.
