definitions about a library

If you run e.g.:

 make cmd make -npf Makefile.gbuild all

you will get a huge output of gbuilds state (without actually building
anything). It should also contain a piece of text like the attached one
describing ~completely (include paths, compile flags, link flags, source files
...) how each library gets build.

This EasyHack is to create a script (or better a make target wrapping a
script), that:
- finds that data in the output
- extract that data
- and generate a VS Project file, that allows to load the library as a project
in VS with include paths etc. set so that InteliSense (code completing) works

In the first step it is NOT required to allow building directly from VS. Later,
bonuspoints might get earned with extending the generated project files to
trigger gbuild from VS with a Custom Action:

So for starters, this is to allow Windows developers to continue using MSVS as
an editor and IDE. Do NOT attempt a perfect 1:1 translation, ability to edit
with code completion should be enough for starters!
