VS2008 directory structure

Hi Sven and others,

I just saw that all VS2008 project files were moved to their own
directory, which I think is a good idea, nice clean new structure,
which should be used for all platforms indeed, as Sven's log-comment
said.

All still builds fine, demos work.

One small point tho, right now, for VS2008, all compiled files end up
in the directory "freeglut\VisualStudio2008\Release". Instead, it
might be better if they end up in a directory a level higher, that is
e.g. "freeglut\Release", other platforms having this same
Debug/Release division (VS6?) might want to output the compiled code
into the same location. To get this done, set the "Output Directory"
for each project (i like how all DLL and all static projects are now
part of the same solution) to "$(SolutionDir)..\$(ConfigurationName)"
instead of "$(SolutionDir)$(ConfigurationName)". Static output should
then go to "$(SolutionDir)..\$(ConfigurationName)Static" Its good to
not change the Intermediate Directory, that way all the unneeded
object code does not clutter the output directory.

I think this structure is preferable, no matter which platform was
used to compile, the library and all demos can be found at the same
location. Sven, if you think this is a good idea, I have emailed you
updated versions of the .vcproj files that you can then put in.

Best,
Diederick
