Please add 'how to build' read-me #122

Long-time dev but primarily an Xcode or Visual Studio 2019 user so not versed in building with command-line tools. Any chance you can add a quick read-me here to show that? It would actually be good to add a read-me anyway as the project page will display it giving a little bit of context without having to go to the separate GitHub.io page.

BTW, what I'm trying to do is match a similar app on macOS where it lets you choose which modifier key. For instance, I use CTRL-ALT-WIN-LEFTMOUSE for moving and CTRL-WIN-LEFTMOUSE for resize. I'm trying to make it mirror that, hard-coding for now, but thinking of adding a simple GUI for you if I can figure out the builds.

Hello.

From reading your post I think you already discovered this page? https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/doc/build.html

I haven't really used Visual Studio to build the program ever, but I imagine it should work. You may have to set up the library linking manually.. not entirely sure how that works. It may be helpful to reference build.sh, especially the -l switches.

https://github.com/stefansundin/altdrag/blob/e2740d605b0336a3b391fec26794718864b19521/build.sh#L13-L17

If you are able to write up instructions then I would be happy to add it to the build documentation. Thanks!

Actually, I hadn't! Guess I didn't dig enough there. I'll definitely try to put something together for you to add. Gimme a few days tho. Slammed with some other work.
