Visual studio express upgrade 2008 => 2012

[M-F-K]

The use of visual studio express 2008 is pretty stoneage, - we need to get into this century regarding the windows compile setup:

1) The solution file(s) need to be upgraded. As far as I know it "should" be pretty simple, a version number needs to be incremented.

On a side note, - Javier posted some links in the forum about this topic, and as far as I remember the links also talked about another topic one should be aware off regarding this upgrade. I think it was something about that the newer version of vs express have the possibility of a more finegrained ?import? setup? ... something that now not only could be set on the toplevel (solution) but also on the projects themselves... well I am guessing here...

2) Brush up the install part in the wiki. This should be simple todo.

3) Brush up the install tutorial ( simple tutorial 1) - we need to go through all the tutorials at one point but this one is very critical.

VC2012 set up to this point for Indielib and tests.

Will sort out tutorials and take a look at editor compile state.

Tutorials setup up to this point. Editor code compiles, linker error. Will sort it out in another tast.

Now I'm going to check OSX and Linux, to be sure nothing is broken, as I had to change some code.
