Total Newbie question

[Chris Saunders]

To build the library for use with VS2008 the easiest method I know is to use 
MinGW and MSYS.  If you are not familiar with these tools use Google to find 
out.  If you are familiar with Linux you will fine building the library 
using MSYS very straightforward.
