[Ecls-list] Building CVS in MSVC Express 2005

[Samium Gromoff]

Good day folks,

I've attempted to build recent CVS in MSVC Express 2005,
and it went down like that:

I've looked at the file, but the line numbers weren't terribly helpful in
determining the cause, which apparently suggests that they are post-CPP.

It also appears that the HAVE_xxxx defines are missing, as ECL redefines
the math functions present in the SDK, or however it's called on win32...

Also, nevermind the "msvs8" folder name, it's the Express version, don't ask :-)
