This sounds good.  Please send patches (preferably with git-send-email,
in reasonable chunks) to the list so we can review and merge.  Please
rebase on top of master.

"Reasonable chunks" is a very subjective thing, of course :-) - in this
case I'd group the MSVC specific things into one patch (like, project
files and such), and the rest into one or more patches depending on the 
number of changes.

MSVC-only things are easier to review as there won't be any impact to
other platforms or build systems, while generic "fix warning" patches
have the tendency to introduce warnings elsewhere (like, printf() 
format specifiers vs. "what is a time_t" being a prime example).

Anyway, thanks for dusting off these corners :-)
