Fix Windows XP support #78

The game doesn't work under Windows XP, and it's probably this reason:

Follow the instructions to see if support can be restored.

Unfortunately I couldn't get rid of all the issues in Windows XP. The safest way may be to use MSYS/GCC instead.

Tested MinGW-compiled cdogs-sdl.exe; works

cxong commented 11 years ago

Unfortunately I never got a single packaging method working; I found a workaround which involves using the MinGW instructions to compile cdogs-sdl.exe, but using the MSVC PACKAGE to create the installer.

MinGW package doesn't work because it complains about sh.exe being in the path, and to use MSYS build instead
MSYS build doesn't work
Tried using previous version of MSVC; didn't work due to MSVCRT conflicts
