[Lemon-user] Compiling the library in Windows

Thanks for the report. It's fixed now. That is actually a wiki page, so
feel free to further improve it if you think it's needed.

I tried it myself with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 and works seamlessly:
First I created a .sln file with cmake (version 2.8.8), opened it with
VS2008 IDE, then simply pressed "Build solution F7" it works a lot and
builds everything including the dimacs-solver, dimacs-to-lgf etc and
even the html documentation.

I also tried to build dimacs-solver and other tools separately by right
clicking on the corresponding target, then choosing 'Build'. It works,
as well.

(There is a problem in _executing_ tsp_test, but it is a different
story, see http://lemon.cs.elte.hu/trac/lemon/ticket/476 )

I think this problem does not relates to LEMON. The missing
"libcpmt.lib" seems to be a standard VC++ library.
