missing file for msvs builds

[Garrett McGrath-4]

I recently downloaded the latest version of libsigc++ and attempted to
build it to fill a dependency requirement in another software package
I'm trying to get built.  Every time I attempt to build the latest
version (2.0.18) it fails looking for the file resource.h, I have
checked previous versions and seem to be unable to locate the file in
those versions as well.  The older versions seem to fail compilation as
well for a variety of different files missing from where it's looking
for them (and from the distribution entirely).  any help would be
wonderful.

'resource.h' rings a bell. If the MSVC project files contain any resources and
you use MSVC to edit them, it has an annoying habit to create this file
(empty or default content) and then include it into one of the resource
files. Of course, it doesn't automatically add this file to the version
control system, which in turn f***s up builds for others. You could try to
simply remove the line that includes it and also remove it from the project
if it is registered there.

Another thing that causes problems with MS Windows builds is that (at least
for SigC++ 1) some files were actually shipped as foo.h.m4 or foo.h.in and
needed to be converted using the M4 macro processor. I'm not sure if that is
still the case for the current version 2 though, but keep your eyes open for
that.
