[PATCH v2 00/16] Make the msvc-build scripts work again

[Philip Oakley <philipoakley@iee.org>]

This updated series fixes the scripts which generated Visual Studio project
files. The scripts had bit rotted over the years as other commits
changed the git makefile which it post-processes.

The series doesn't attempt (yet) to install the Visual Studio compiled product
but allows Windows developers familiar with VS to support the Windows SDK
port of Git.

The fixes are presented in a fine grained manner.

The key change in this series is that the failure of using the git/Makefile
for a clean dry-run has been identified in perl/Makefile. The new fix replaces
two previous hack patches.

Grammatical corrections and other comments have all been included. In
particular the use of deactivated code is now better explained. The false
mode change has also been fixed (from using 'git gui', who's unstage/re-stage
action on Windows with its core.filemode=false loses the 'x' bit).

The previous patch series was not picked up on $gmane, but is available
at http://marc.info/?t=143519065200003&r=1&w=2 (2015-06-25)

Older patch series were at:
 $gmane/21132 (2014-11-20),
 $gmane/21207 (2014-12-26),
 and on Msysgit list (2015-02-23) at
 https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en_US?hl%3Den#!topic/msysgit/aiEVBKjRshY
 and as a PR https://github.com/msysgit/git/pull/318/files
