I updated the sources package with working sln (VS solution files) for
vc7/8/9. They are available here:

http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/source/
http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/php-builds/

There is a couple of php specific changes in the library name (no
version info in the library file name and _debug instead of _D) but it
can already be used to test. By the way, is it what you like to do? To
have the version in the file name? It makes the auto detection a bit
trickier :) It can be done with resources for the dlls.

I also added added the win64 platform (vc8/9) and all files are now
generated or built outside the src tree:

freetype-x.y.z/objs/win32/debug/freetype.lib
freetype-x.y.z/objs/win64/debug/freetype.lib


Two questions, what was the role of the "Debug" and "Release"
configuration, some default mode? Recent VC version does not support
anymore the singlethreaded CRT. Can we drope the ST configurations in
the respective sln?

Once every change is done, I will send the patch against current CVS
(with correct names).

Cheers,
