Title: [Windows] Ease building with VS Express by checking in generated files.

@piscisaureus, would love your feedback this morning, since @izs would like to use this technology to help him with today's build.

Well-tested with VS 2010 Ultimate, but I still need to test this on a VS Express box, which will have to (ironically) be at the office tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile, I feel pretty good about this patch as a way to have git complain about modified files to those of us that have the WinSDK lying around (either from Visual Studio or otherwise), but to break the WinSDK dependency for folks that don't already have it installed.

Btw, I'm not happy about the obnoxious file names, but haven't found a way to change them. MSG00001.BIN, really?
