[zeromq-dev] Should Add Windows Instructions to INSTALL or README?

[Osiris Pedroso]

Agreed. There are also problems if one wants to build Zyre and Malamute,
since the SLN files expect some files to be in specific locations that have
to be hand copied from the other projects to get it to build in Windows as
well.
I second the request.
As Peter says, can you make the changes and make a pull request?
I have not made it because I only have VS2013 on my machine, and it would
need to be done for all VS versions (in my mind)...
