Describe how to set env vars for the MSVC compiler
The old instructions did assume that the MSVC bin directory was in the PATH.
This is not recommended, since it gets in the way if you want to compile for
32 and 64 bit. Therefore it is now described how to configure without the
PATH dependency.

+ Alternatively, you can create a .bat file that first contains the line

Set the build path to C:\LyX\lyx-23-build
