Pre-compiled packages with dependencies are provided for this environment.
If you don't have Visual C++ 2010 installed, get the free Express edition from

+ All dependencies are linked against the MSVC 2010 runtime and won't work in
+ combination with MSVC 2008. You'll get crashes and other unexpected issues.
