I either use mingw or nmake.  The project files are very out of date.
We should remove them from the release, unless somebody wants to
update them to match what Makefile.nmake does.

The samples could use some love; the real unit tests are in test/*.c .

If somebody wants to update sample/*.c to conform to good style, use
Libevent 2.0.x correctly, and work more portably, that would be great.
