- New ZMQ_STATIC flag to enable "libzmq.lib" Windows static library (or "libzmq_d.lib" in Debug mode).
- ZMQ_STATIC needs also to be defined by projects using static linking against "libzmq.lib"
- New StaticDebug & StaticRelease configurations for libzmq Win32 projects under MSVC 2008 & 2010
- Tested with Visual Studio 2008 Express under Windows 7, and Visual Studio 2010 Express under Windows 8.
- when compiling for Windows CE, a C++ project must define the preprocessor definitions: UNDER_CE=$(CEVersion),_WIN32_WCE=$(CEVersion)
- choosing the "_WIN32_CE" form for uniformization with "_WIN32" and "_WIN32_WINNT" already used in libzmq (boost is using both forms)

MSVC build fails with linking errors for unresolved symbols SetSecurityDescriptorDacl and InitializeSecurityDescriptor in signaler.obj
Adding the relevant link library (Advapi32.lib) to VCLinkerTool fixes this (tested MSVC2010 on XP and Win7)
Without the LinkDLL statement, command-line compile using vcbuild attempts to compile EXE and complains about entrypoint
The LinkDLL statement forces the linker to produce desired output
File decoder.cpp does not compile with Visual C++ 2008:
1>c:\tmp\libzmq\src\decoder.cpp(117) : warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'max'
1>c:\tmp\libzmq\src\decoder.cpp(117) : error C2589: '(' : illegal token on right side of '::'
1>c:\tmp\libzmq\src\decoder.cpp(117) : error C2059: syntax error : '::'
1>c:\tmp\libzmq\src\decoder.cpp(117) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{'
This error is caused by the precense of a macro 'max' when including
'windows.h'. To solve this problem, the preprocessor macro /DNOMINMAX must
be specified.
* Added two new files: errno.hpp and errno.cpp. They are required to use errno functionality on WM.
* zmq.cpp, msg.h: removed inclusion of errno.h because it is included in zmq.h that is also included by .cpp.
* windows.hpp: process.h is included only for desktop builds.
* thread.cpp: on CE CreateThread is used instead of __beginthreadex
* socket_base.cpp, clock.cpp: on CE include cmnintrin.h instead on intrin.h
* signaler.cpp: on Windows should use special macro around event name (for unicode builds)
* err.hpp: make it include errno.hpp (my file) instead on errno.h when building for CE
* err.cpp: use FormatMessage when building for CE (because CE does not have ANSI API functions)
* zmq.h: do not include errno.h whe building for CE
* libzmq.vcproj: add tro new files
These include configurations for both Win32 and x64 platforms. All project
settings have been normalised in property sheets (the ".props" files under
builds/msvc/properties) to simplify maintenance. Build artefacts are all
generated in platform-specific subfolders of bin, lib and obj directories.
Also enables the use of precompiled headers with MSVC10.
This significantly reduces the time required to compile libzmq with Visual
Studio on Windows. It should have no impact on other platforms.

For historical reasons queue to transfer commands between
threads was called 'signaler'. Given that it was used to
pass commands rather than signals it was renamed to 'mailbox',
see Erlang mailboxes.
