Unpack sources, open cvsnt.vcproj, compile.

If you want to compile sserver and/or gserver then you'll need a
couple of extra includes/libs (suitable copies are on the cvsnt main
page), otherwise remove those from the build dependencies and forget
about them.

There are some scripts I use in my installation in the tony's scripts
directory, but they're not essential to the build (unless you want to
mirror my build environment for some reason).
