[zeromq-dev] libzmq\builds\msvc\msvc.sln is missing

[Pieter Hintjens]

I just tried cmake on CZMQ, it ends with:

- Could NOT find LIBSODIUM (missing:  LIBSODIUM_LIBRARIES
LIBSODIUM_INCLUDE_DIRS)
- Could NOT find LIBZMQ (missing:  LIBZMQ_LIBRARIES LIBZMQ_INCLUDE_DIRS)
Make Error at CMakeLists.txt:100 (message):
 libzmq not found.
- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Now, I think this could be fixed with some work in zproject, though
it's hardly worthwhile since we generate the MSVC solutions already.

Cheers
Pieter
