Updated the makefiles and Visual Studio project files to support moving
the authentication code to the new lib/vauth directory that was started
in commit 0d04e859e1.
As these files don't need to contain references to the source files,
although typically do, added basic files which only include three
filters and don't require the project file generator to be modified.
These files allow the source code to be viewed in the Solution Explorer
in versions of Visual Studio from 2010 onwards in the same manner as
previous versions did rather than one large view of files.
This wasn't possible with the old curlsrc project filenames, but like
commit 2a615a2b64 and 11397eb6dd for libcurl use the built in Visual
Studio macros for the output filenames.
Removed the DataExecutionPrevention directive from the project files for
Visual Studio 2008 and above. The XML value in the VC9 project files was
set to "0" (Default) whilst the VC10+ project files contained an empty
XML element.
Visual Studio 2008 introduced support for the address space layout
randomization (ASLR) feature of Windows Vista. However, upgrading the
VC8 project files to VC9 and above disabled this feature.
Removed the RandomizedBaseAddress directive to enabled the default
setting (/DYNAMICBASE). Note: This doesn't appear to have any negative
impact when compiled and ran on Windows XP.
Visual Studio 2005 and above defaults to disabling the startup banner
for the Compiler, Linker and MIDL tools (with /NOLOGO). As such there
is no need to explicitly set the SuppressStartupBanner directive, as
this is a leftover from the VC7 and VC7.1 projects being upgraded to
VC8 and above.
In preparation for adding the test suite and examples projects renamed
the top level "all" solution files to better describe what they are.
This will also enable us to use "curl" rather than "curlsrc" for the
command line tool solution and project files, which will simplify some
of the configuration.
Defined the DEBUGBUILD pre-processor variable to allow extra logging,
which is particularly useful in debug builds, as we use this and Visual
Studio typically uses _DEBUG.
We could define DEBUBBUILD, in curl_setup.h, when _MSC_VER and _DEBUG is
defined but that would also affect the makefile based builds which we
probably don't want to do.
Removed the WIN64 pre-processor definition from the libcurl project
files as:
* WIN64 is not used in our source code
* The curl projects files don't define it
* It isn't required by or used in the platform SDK
* For backwards compatability curl_setup.h defines WIN32
* The compiler automatically defines _WIN64 for x64 builds
Historically Visual Studio projects have defined WIN32, in addition to
the compiler defined _WIN32 definition, and I had incorrectly changed
that to WIN64 for the x64 libcurl builds but not in the curl projects.
As such, it is questionable whether this should be defined or not. For
more information see the following cache of a discussion that took
place on the microsoft.public.vc.mfc newsgroup:

The curl tool project files for VC8 to VC12 would set this setting to
$(IntDir) which is the Visual Studio default value. To avoid confusion
when viewing settings from within Visual Studio and for consistency
with the libcurl project files removed this setting.

The curl tool project files for VC7 to VC12 would set this settings to
$(IntDir)$(TargetName).pch which is the Visual Studio default value. To
avoid confusion when viewing settings from within Visual Studio and for
consistency with the libcurl project files removed this setting.

The curl tool project files for VC7 to VC12 would set these settings to
$(IntDir) which is the Visual Studio default value. To avoid confusion
when viewing settings from within Visual Studio and for consistency
with the libcurl project files removed these two settings.
The curl tool project files for VC7 to VC12 would override the default
setting with the output filename being the same as the linker PDB file.
As such the compiler file would be overwritten with the linker file
for all debug builds.
To avoid this overwrite and for consistency with the libcurl project
files, removed the setting to force the default filename to be used.
As with commit 11397eb6dd, use $(TargetDir) and $(TargetName) for the
Import Library output rather than $(OutDir)\$(ProjectName)d.lib and
$(OutDir)\$(ProjectName).lib.
Unlike previous versions of Visual Studio the VC12 solution file format
does not increment the format version number, but instead, only changes
the version comment text.
This incorrectly set version number would cause problems for any third
party piece of software that would read the solution file expecting the
version number to be 12.00 and found it to be 13.00, such as some build
accelerators.
Verified against a freshly created solution file which was generated
with VC12.
Carrying on from commit 11025613b9 added VC12 project files which are
capable of supporting side-by-side compilation, 32-bit and 64-bit
builds as well as support for some of the third-party libraries curl
uses.
