Hi Fabrice,

I've submitted 2 pull requests that deal with building the project on Windows.  The first one fixes the issues that Gary mentioned.  
The second fixes the Visual Studio build.  I think this one will deserve a mention in the documentation once my changes have been merged.

Building in Visual Studio:  

- Follow all of the instructions for building in Qt.
- Install the appropriate Qt Visual Studio Tools plugin for your version of Visual Studio.
- RTFM. Set it up.
- Qt VS Tools > Open Qt Project File > librecad.pro
- Build

If you are planning to contribute, please do not check the VS project files in.  They will contain the personalized settings from your custom.pro.
