Re: Building with VS-Express 2013

Gisle,

Thanks for this report. I am *just now* getting to it! I just pushed a
series of changes (r33795 - r33798) that seem to work for me, and I'd
appreciate if you let me know how they work for you. I ended up
removing the nmap-update project from the solution so I could focus on
the more core issues at hand, so you may need to do that, too.
