[Dune] DUNE on Windows

[Bernd Flemisch]

Hi Jonathan,

I can share my experience which does not have too much wisdom in it: 
CMake for Windows has a generator for Visual Studio project files. For 
dune-common, it seems to set up these files correctly. I have not tried 
with a second module to see whether one can get the dependencies right, 
but I think that should not be too hard.

Compiling the tests gives quite some errors. Nevertheless, there are 
tests which compile, so this is promising. I did not have a closer look 
at the errors yet.

I also thought about using a different compiler with Visual Studio than 
the default VC one. There is not too much to be found on this issue, 
apart from some discouraging opinions. Clearly, it would be desirable to 
get it to run with the VC compiler. I guess that this will take quite 
some work.

Using MinGW or Cygwin and Code::Blocks on top of that would be a quicker 
alternative.

Kind regards
Bernd
