[slang-users] [PATCH] Visual C build improvements

[Jon Parise <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have two simple patches that improve the build under recent versions
of Visual Studio.

The first limits the vsnprintf/_vsnprintf hack to versions of Visual
Studio prior to the 2005 release.  It's possible this could be moved
back even further, but I don't have copies of those older versions
handy with which to test.

This second patch defines the $(RM) build tool to be 'del' for the
Visual C environment:
