ZetaGlest build system for Windows

**To build ZetaGlest for the first time:**
1. Download Git for Windows (or make sure it is installed), and make sure that `git` is in the `PATH` environment variable.
To check, open `cmd` and write `git`. If you get a `not recognized` error, then continue with step 1, otherwise skip to step 2. Usually `git.exe` is located in `C:\Program Files\Git\bin` after installation. To add it to `PATH`, right-click on `This PC` -> `Properties` -> `Advanced system settings` -> `Advanced` tab -> `Environment Variables`, and under `System variables` double-click on `PATH`, and add the path to `git` as a listing and click `OK`.

- `g2xml` converts `.g3d` ZetaGlest 3D models into a readable XML formatted layout
*Side-note for developers who want to debug:*
To be able to run ZetaGlest from within Visual Studio using the debugger, you need to:
1. Set `glest_game` as the startup project.
2. Right-click `glest_game` -> Properties -> Debugging and change `Working Directory` to `$(SolutionDir)$(TargetName)\`
Do this for `g3d_viewer` and `map_editor`.
2. Right-click `glest_game` -> `Properties` -> `Debugging` and change `Working Directory` to `$(SolutionDir)$(TargetName)\`
Do this also for `g3d_viewer` and `map_editor`.
Configuration in Visual Studio must be left as "Release", otherwise it won't compile, but one can still use debugging options by making the following changes in the project properties:
