My mistake was that I was looking at the sources on GitHub.  If I download
the 0.7.1 package from http://igraph.org/c/#downloads, it (sort of) works
with MSVC.  The 0.8.0 nightly packages for MSVC do not work.

I had to do this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26579997/igraph-c-compiling-link-errors-in-visual-studio
 and also make sure the macro snprintf was not defined (for Visual Studio
2015).

Now my question is:  How is the MSVC source package created?  How can I
create such a package from the sources on GitHub, so I can used the
weighted layout algorithms that were added since 0.7.1?
