be8d3a4911 WinXP compatibility update
This changes the Platform Toolset configuration from "Visual Studio
2013 (v120)" to "Visual Studio 2013 - Windows XP (v120_xp)".  Without
this change, executables built by VS2013 will not run on WinXP.

To actually run on WinXP, we also need to install the redistributable
msvcr120.dll and mfc120u.dll, both of which are fairly large.  The
installation package has more than doubled in size.

At some point we may want to drop WinXP support -- Microsoft declared
end-of-life on April 8 2014 -- but if the only penalty is a 2MB increase
in installer size, we might as well keep supporting WinXP users.

3f9561f2d5 Define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS and _CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE
There's probably some value in using the "secure" versions of the
various string functions, but I don't want to deal with it right
now.  We won't use them for the stuff that builds under Linux
anyway (diskimg, nufxlib).

This largely eliminates warnings from VC++.

d21ba553ab Added new logging macros
Visual Studio figured out variadic macros around 2005, so we can
finally replace the explicit-arg-count debug log macros.

Also, fixed some include guards.

Also, bumped version to 4.0.0d1.

51b5f00f5c Large set of changes to restore CiderPress build.
CiderPress and MDC now compile, and execute far enough to open
their respective "about" boxes, but I doubt they'll do much
more than that.

* Switch from MBCS to UNICODE APIs

Microsoft switched to UTF-16 (by way of UCS-2) a long time ago,
and the support for MBCS seems to be getting phased out.  So it's
time to switch to wide strings.

This is a bit awkward for CiderPress because it works with disk
and file archives with 8-bit filenames, and I want NufxLib and
DiskImgLib to continue to work on Linux (which has largely taken
the UTF-8 approach to Unicode).  The libraries will continue to
work with 8-bit filenames, with CiderPress/MDC doing the
conversion at the appropriate point.

There were a couple of places where strings from a structure
handed back by one of the libraries were used directly in the UI,
or vice-versa, which is a problem because we have nowhere to
store the result of the conversion.  These currently have fixed
place-holder "xyzzy" strings.

All UI strings are now wide.

Various format strings now use "%ls" and "%hs" to explicitly
specify wide and narrow.  This doesn't play well with gcc, so
only the Windows-specific parts use those.

* Various updates to vcxproj files

The project-file conversion had some cruft that is now largely
gone.  The build now has a common output directory for the EXEs
and libraries, avoiding the old post-build copy steps.

* Added zlib 1.2.8 and nufxlib 2.2.2 source snapshots

The old "prebuilts" directory is now gone.  The libraries are now
built as part of building the apps.

I added a minimal set of files for zlib, and a full set for nufxlib.
The Linux-specific nufxlib goodies are included for the benefit of
the Linux utilities, which are currently broken (don't build).

* Replace symbols used for include guards

Symbols with a leading "__" are reserved.

b11f10dddf Visual Studio 2013 update
This updates the project files for Visual Studio 2013, and removes
the old Visual Studio 6 (1998) project files.  The update tool had
a number of complaints (see UpgradeLog.htm) that may need to be
addressed.

Also, replaced .cvsignore with .gitignore.

Visual Studio reports 1886 build errors, nearly all of them due to
the switch from MBCS to Unicode.  The former is no longer
supported "out of the box", and its use is discouraged, so we're
going to bite the bullet and use wide characters in the UI.
