This is work in progress.
However it is sufficiently robust to be in current use by a commercial licensee of exiv2.

This has been tested with the "Pro" versions of VS 2005/08/10
Express editions dont support 64 bit builds, however it is
possible to build 32 bit libraries with "Express".
See notes below about DevStudio Express.

I use the directory c:\gnu for this purpose, however the name isn't important.

The DLL builds use the DLL version of the C runtime libraries
The Debug|Release builds use static C runtime libraries

1.6 Express editions of DevStudio
Express does not provide a 64bit compiler.
You can build 32 bit libraries with DevStudio Express (with a little effort)
The project conversion wizard will fail on any mention of 64 bit configurations.
You can "doctor" to project files to remove this using a editor:
Cleanup your tree and edit the files.
cd exiv2\msvc64
call cleaner.bat
for /r %f in (*.vcproj) do notepad %f
for /r %f in (*.sln) do notepad %f
I personally don't recomment notepad for any purpose at all.
I use TextPad http://www.textpad.com/
DevStudio Express 2010 (and presumably 2005 and 2008) do not have the "Batch Build" feature.
Select "exiv2" right-click "Set as Startup Project" and
Select Platform="Win32" Configuration="Debug|DebugDLL|Release|ReleaseDLL" Build.
Only build the Configurations you need. Build time is about 2 minutes/Configuration.

expat and zlib do not provide 64bit builds for DevStudio,
