VS8 was used few years ago. MSVC2008 was used by one australian guy but not
devteam members. Technically we should add compiler flags for MSVC in our
main CMakeLists.txt.

*Sigh* Looks like you are right.

Those instructions for Arch Linux, who use GCC 4.8 or maybe 4.9. On my
system (Ubuntu 12.04.3) I have only GCC 4.6 and I can't build crossed
versions of llvm 3.3 and mesalib.
