Using libmicrohttpd with MSVC

Windows is not POSIX compliant. Attempting to include files like sys/select.h will not work because they don't exist. Here's a step-by-step guide to get the libmicrohttpd demo working on MSVC.

1. Add the include directory.
2. Make sure code generation runtime library is set to multi-threaded DLL (/MDd or /MD).
3. Include the library directory (/lib and /bin).
4. Add dependency libmicrohttpd.dll.a and Ws2_32.lib
5. Go to Linker > All Options and make sure /SAFESH is not Yes. (Am using libmicrohttpd-0.9.17-w32, not sure for newer versions).
6. Finally, include also the following.

#ifndef MHD_PLATFORM_H
#define MHD_PLATFORM_H
#include <winsock2.h> // socket related definitions
#include <ws2tcpip.h> // socket related definitions
#include <sys/types.h>
typedef SSIZE_T ssize_t; //Windows type to unix type
typedef UINT64 uint64_t; //Windows type to unix type
typedef UINT16 uint16_t; //Windows type to unix type
#endif
#include <microhttpd.h>
...

That should be about it.
