[Gtkradiant] GtkRadiant 1.6.4 for Windows: shots fired!

[Timothee Besset]

Alright, there is a first Windows build of what should eventually turn into
the new 1.6.4 GtkRadiant release line:

http://gtkradiant.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/GtkRadiant-1.6.4-20130609.zip

You may need to install the Visual Studio 2012 runtime if you're having
problems running:

http://gtkradiant.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/vcredist_x86.exe
http://gtkradiant.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/vcredist_x64.exe

You will only need the x64 redist if you intend to run the 64 bit version
of q3map2.

CHANGES:

There are not many user visible changes at this point.
- The supporting libraries: gtk, jpeg, libxml were all updated to the
latest on Windows.
- Project files were upgraded to Visual Studio 2012 (Express is supported)
- A 64 bit version of q3map2 is included

The 64 bit q3map2 binary is included, but there is no easy support for
using it from GtkRadiant yet. That will come in a later build. For now in
order to use it, you would need to manually edit the project template, and
rename all occurences of 'q3map2' to 'x64/q3map2'. See
https://github.com/TTimo/GtkRadiant/issues/116 for details.

TODO:

There is a list of items that I'd like to consider for the 1.6.4 release on
github:

As usual, contributors and patches are most welcome. If there are other
important issues that you think should be considered for 1.6.4 please bring
them up here.
