Hi, Mark,

I tested the head (c1e84b2) on Windows 8 Consumer Preview, using
Visual Studio 11 Beta, and all went well with the makefiles.
(In addition to Visual Studio, the MinGW and Borland C++ tests went well also.)

On the other hand, building the minizip project failed in a couple of
ways. I got an "unresolved external symbol gzflags" error, and the
line "VERSION 1.2.7" in zlibvc.def is not accepted. According to MSDN,
the syntax is VERSION MAJOR.MINOR. More than two numbers seemed to
work with the past Visual Studio editions, but not with VS11 Beta,
apparently.

Sincerely,
Cosmin
