[Live-devel] waiting for SPS/PPS

[Matthew Czarnek]

It appears Visual Studio does support Makefiles through the use of 'nmake'
but I don't believe (I could be wrong.. I'd love it if someone knew
otherwise) that Visual Studio can be used to open the makefile as a
project. However, it is possible to use CMake to do so. Which I personally
find to be quite handy for debugging purposes and understanding what's
going on behind the covers when my code interacts with Live555.

I'd recommend letting me whip up instructions for building using CMake to
generate a LIVE555 VS project once I'm finished with my current deadline at
work. Windows support seems important to me.
