[igraph] Easier way to compile igraph on Windows?

[Szabolcs Horvát]

Dear All,

Are there any precompiled packages available for Windows, usable for C development with igraph?

Or is there at least something that avoids having to install all of cygwin, automake, autoconf2.5, libtool, flex, bison, etc. as described in the INSTALL.WINDOWS file and allows compiling with the free Microsoft compiler?  I'm assuming some of these tools generate source code (I might be wrong) and that perhaps some of this code can be pre-generated.

I don't have a Windows machine, and I would like to minimize the amount of stuff that need to be installed to compile something with igraph on another machine.
