[vorbis-dev] Problems with vorbis sdk

[Chris Wolf]

Hervé,

I created a complete win32 build procedure which is included in the "win32sdk" module.
Currently, it does not go into the nightly tar ball, so you need to get it from CVS.

Using win32sdk, I was able to build against the library modules in the tar ball, and
everything worked, including "vorbisfile_example.c".

The best thing to do is use the build environment provided in win32sdk.
