Charm++ parallel programming system

[Gengbin Zheng <gzheng AT illinois.edu>]

Hi,

 There was an effort to make Charm++ working under VC++ IDE, however,
it was more than 7 years ago!
 The difficulty I think is VC++ requires a different sets of
makefiles, see Makefile.win32 for an example. Since we switched
completely to Cygwin-based make system to be consistent with other
UNIX-based build environment, those windows makefiles have never been
maintained since then. So it is quite out-dated.
