Hi,

I have successfully compiled the Synopsis c++ parser in msvc 7.1 and have
created a solution and projects for the utility apps (display-ptree and
display-symbols). I can send the files to Stefan for integration as a first
draft. I have a dynamic linked version and a static library. I will submit
the static library first, as dynamic support is not implemented yet.

Note that my current understanding of the whole Synopsis project does not
allow me to have a build system to natively build all synopsis in msvc. That
may come soon though.

I can maintain the msvc project, but in the long term, we may need a more
cross-platform build solution, like bjam or the like.

D.
