From what I can tell, the only thing that is "lost" because of
this is the possibility of using C++AMP. Not really an issue.
And we don't have to provide different runtimes for XP and
win7+. They all use the same redistributable package.
Renamed the VS2008 solution instead of removing it
to give people time to get VS2013 installed.
Will remove the VS2008 solution and project files
after a while.
This was NOT just a straightforward conversion. It took days to
figure out why projects kept building over and over again, so
committing is the best way for people to kick the tires.
These are completely separate from the VS2008 project files, so
they do not affect current build process.
