This commit contains a GNU Makefile and NuGet configuration scripts to download and install the various third-party libraries that we will need to build/link with when using VS2015 to build Git. The file "compat/vcbuild/README_VS2015.txt" contains instructions for using this. In this commit, "compat/vcbuild/Makefile" contains hard-coded version numbers of the packages we require. These are set to the current versions as of the time of this commit. We use "nuget restore" to install them explicitly using a "package.config". A future improvement would try to use some of the automatic package management functions and eliminate the need to specify exact versions. I tried, but could not get this to work. NuGet was happy dowload "minimum requirements" rather than "lastest" for dependencies -- and only look at one package at a time. For example, both curl and openssl depend upon zlib and have different minimums. It was unclear which version of zlib would be installed and seemed to be dependent on the order of the top-level packages. So, I'm skipping that for now. We need to be very precise when specifying NuGet package versions: while nuget.exe auto-completes a version, say, 1.0.2 to 1.0.2.0, we will want to parse packages.config ourselves, to generate the Visual Studio solution, and there we need the exact version number to be able to generate the exact path to the correct .targets file.
