[Bf-committers] iksolver_plugin.c error, MSVC 2010 express project files.

[Pacific Morrowind]

Cmake finally (been downloading since late this afternoon when first 
suggested here - on terrible dialup) downloaded, and I've installed it 
and ran it and after a two tries got it running... now down to 3 failed 
projects in the build, which I'll attempt to figure out what is wrong 
with. Unless someone thinks I'm not a good person (due to my 
inexperience I would guess) I'll write up a section on the 2.5/windows 
build instructions for CMake/MSVC 2010, as soon as I figure out the last 
couple projects.
Thanks for all your help everyone.
