[Simh] Building PDP-10 with Visual C++ 2005 Express

Get a (n)makefile for Visual C++ from my website at
http://vms.pdv-systeme.de/users/martinv/simh-37-0-makefile_vc.txt

I have used that to build SimH (all emulators) successfully using
Visual C++ 2003 Express (plus Win32 SDK; plus .NET Framework - no
idea whether it's needed. I stole the setup instructions from perl,
and it was included there).

HTH,
  Martin
