[Coin-lpsolver] using windows for CLP

It is true that many Coin developers work on linux, but not all.
It is also a labor intensive manual process to keep the MS Visual Studio
workspace (solution) and project files up-to-date.
The project files can easily get out of sync when source files are added or
deleted.

I just:
- downloaded http://www.coin-or.org/Tarballs/Clp/Clp_2006Jul13.tgz
- unzipped the file
- opened the workspace Clp_2006Jul13\MSVisualStudio\v6\Clp\Clp.dsw with MS
Visual Studio Version 6.
and successfully built the Clp executable.

> Any hints?
