Add scripts to generate projects for other buildsystems (MSVC vcproj, QMake)
These scripts generate projects for the MSVC IDE (.vcproj files) or QMake (.pro files), based on the output of a 'make -n MSVC=1 V=1' run. This enables us to simply do the necesarry changes in the Makefile, and you can update the other buildsystems by regenerating the files. Keeping the other buildsystems up-to-date with main development. The generator system is designed to easily drop in pm's for other buildsystems as well, if someone has an itch. However, the focus has been Windows development, so the 'engine' might need patches to support any platform. Also add some .gitignore entries for MSVC files.

Done!
