Maybe I wasn't clear on the purpose of my message. The point is to not 
use the existing project files but to use cmake to generate project 
files locally, specifically adapted to the available version of MSVC.

As described at http://trac.gnugo.org/gnugo/ticket/191 this involves 
downloading cmake from http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html and 
running it as explained at http://www.cmake.org/HTML/RunningCMake.html.

I have updated http://trac.gnugo.org/gnugo-3.7.11-cmake.tar.gz to now 
exclude the project files (which were the stock 3.7.11 files).
