[Symphony] Configuring Symphony on Visual Studio 10

[Ted Ralphs]

Just to follow up, everything works perfectly out of the box with 5.4.4. In
general, updating to the latest release version is a good idea whenever you
run into problems. This should not break any existing code and should be
transparent.

Cheers,

Ted
