Add contributed support for building with Microsoft's compiler
Thanks to Erik G <erik@6809.org> for various updates to allow building with
Microsoft's compiler. These changes, in addition to some other generally
good fixups from other commits, include:
* move the version define to its own source file instead of as an option in
Makefile. This is better anyway.
* add some compatibilty stuff to lwlib
This support is minimally invasive so it should continue to work. However,
this is contributed code which I have no way to test.
