MSVC support

[therustmonk]

Lua uses ANSI C, so MSVC can compile it and Rust supports MSVC ABI.

Feature: Add possibility to compile library within Visual Studio environment.

This becomes trivial if we throw away the platform-specific configuration in Lua's makefile and let the gcc crate (which, despite its name, supports MSVC) be responsible for building the library. Then it's a simple matter of passing in the list of .c files and the output filename and everything is done.

Looks fine. Also we'll take full control over all defines. We should implement it 👍

Is there any progress on this?

@Boscop Currently, you can compile using MSVC by running your cargo commands within the VS developer command prompt.
