To build Angband using Microsoft's Visual Studio.

 1. Download the source from the homepage at http://rephial.org or clone the
    git repostitory at https://github.com/angband/angband.

 4. Copy libpng.dll and zlib1.dll from src\win\dll\ to the project directory.

 2. Make an empty win32 project in visual studio.
New Project / Visual C++ / Empty Project
Name = Angband-4.0.5
Location = Folder above your angband location
Create Directory for Solution = FALSE

 8. Add all of the files that end in ".c" or ".h" in the src directory EXCEPT
    those that have "main" in their name and snd-sdl.c to the project files.
    This can be done by right-clicking on the project in visual studio and 
    choosing "Add Files to Project" from the context menu or by going to
    "Project" -> "Add to Project" -> "Files" from the menu bar.

12. Add all of the files that end in ".c" or ".h" in the src\win directory
    to the project, as well as angband.rc.

13. Add main-win.c from the src directory to the project.

Project Settings
C/C++ / Additional Include Directories = src;src/win;src/win/include;
C/C++ / Preprocessor / Preprocessor Defintions, add to start of line:  _CRT_NONSTDC_NO_WARNINGS;_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS;
Linker / Output File, remove "$(OutDir)", leaving you with $(TargetName)$(TargetExt)
Linker / Input / Additional dependencies, add to start of line: src\win\zlib1.lib;src\win\libpng.lib;msimg32.lib;winmm.lib;

in h-basic.h, comment line 27, it causes an error otherwise
#	define snprintf _snprintf
#error: Macro definition of snprintf conflicts with Standard Library fiction declaration

in h-basic.h line 64, windows wasn't recognized, so change
     defined(__WINNT__) || defined(__NT__)
to
     defined(__WINNT__) || defined(__NT__) || defined(_MSC_VER)

Still loads of errors. Now what?
