[vorbis-dev] Ogg Vorbis SDK.

[Scott Velasquez]

Tim:

You should also add a version resource to each MSVC project as well.  
I've done this for our game which is handy when you begin testing.

Another thing you might consider changing in the MSVC projects, is the 
dynamic linking against msvcr71.dll.  This forces users to distribute 
this .dll with their application when they could be statically linking 
against the library instead.
