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

[Benoit Bolsee]

M_PI is a standard C symbol, defined in math.h, which is included from
cmath.h
It's possible that MSCV 2010 requires an additional define to declare
those symbols, such as _USE_MATH_DEFINES. Check the headers in Visual
Studio directory.
