... the recent MSVC project files added by Steve Holme

Use 'vs' directory tree given that 'vc' intended one clashes
with an already existing build target in file Makefile.dist.

This reverts commit 0e66d587.

VC6 is _very_ old and we provide working makefiles even for that
compiler. Users who build with the IDE never use that method and project
file anyway and it was just lingering in the root dir.

In an attempt to clear up misc files from the root dir

We don't need them and I doubt many people used them. We also don't have
any configs for other editors and we wouldn't want that.

runtests.pl -am now uses the "PASS/FAIL: [desc]" output for each
executed test. You can run 'make test-am' in the root build directory to
invoke that. The reason for this output style is to better allow generic
test suite parsers to also grok our test output.

The test Makefile now also tests that perl was indeed found and that the
PERL variable points to an executable before it tries to run the main
test perl script runtests.pl,

The clean-local hook needed some polish to make sure make distclean
works. Added comment describing why.

Allow, at configure time, the production of versioned symbols. The
symbols will look like "CURL_<FLAVOUR>_<VERSION> <SYMBOL>", where
<FLAVOUR> represents the SSL flavour (e.g. OPENSSL, GNUTLS, NSS, ...),
<VERSION> is the major SONAME version and <SYMBOL> is the actual symbol
name. If no SSL library is enabled the symbols will be just
"CURL_<VERSION> <SYMBOL>".

Made the public headers checksrc compliant

Removed types.h (it's been unused since April 2004)

Made the root makefile do make in include by default as well, so that
TAGS and the checksrc will work better.

The make target checksrc now works in the root makefile and in both the
src and lib directories.

It is also run automatically on "all" if configure --enable-debug was
used.

This is a separate makefile for MSVC builds. It is deliberately put in
another dir than src/ and lib/ to allow a different build experience
than the previous - at least during a period. Eventually we should
unify.

CMake/CheckTypeSize.c.in and CMake/CheckTypeSize.cmake were removed in
the previous cmake commit

config.h issue hasn't been completely solved.  This will save some effort
for someone desperate to use curl on Android.

buildconf.bat is only for CVS tree builds.

  firefox-db2pem.sh conversion script that converts a local Firefox db of ca
