This change updates the Microsoft Windows build directions to be more flexible with regards to Visual Studio compiler versions:

* Any version of Visual Studio 2010 Pro or higher may be used.
* MSBuild Solution files are converted to the version of VS at build time
* Example command file to set command paths prior to using maven so that conversion works

Additionally, Snappy and ISA-L that use bin as the location of the DLL will now be recognized without having to set their respective lib paths if the prefix is set.

Note to contributors:

It is very important that solutions for any patches remain at the VS 2010-level.
