Matt Powley 260860dea1 Add .gitignore for Visual Studio builds in the 'builds/msvc' folder
* Added a new .gitignore file for excluding Visual Studio build output any popular plug-in generated content. (This was copied from the GitHub project https://github.com/github/gitignore).
* Removed the basic ignore settings from the root folder in favour of more precision within the subfolder's .gitignore file
* Added the new VC compiler's experimental Intellisense database file

For building on Windows, use:

     ./configure.bat
     cd build
     ./buildall.bat

This requires that the CMD.EXE be created using the DevStudio Tools link to create a CMD.EXE windo.

Visual Studio product and C++ compiler Versions:

Visual C++ 2008 => Visual C++ 9
Visual C++ 2010 => Visual C++ 10
Visual C++ 2012 => Visual C++ 11
Visual C++ 2013 => Visual C++ 12
Visual C++ 2015 => Visual C++ 14

Note that solution file icons reflect the compiler version ([9], [10], [11], [12], [14]), not the product version.

The vs2015/vs2013/vs2012/vs2010 solution and project files differ only in versioning.

If multiple DevStudio versions are installed on the machine, you can run buildall.bat on separate windows that each were created by the desired DevStudio target.

If you prefer to build all versions (or several) at the same time, you should uncomment the specific version desired in buildall.bat to build them from a single window.
