[svn-r13922] Purpose: First step in VS6 Depreciation

Desciption: This is the first major check-in in the process of depreciating Visual Studio 6.0. We create a new directory, windows_vs6, which now holds all of our previous VS6 project files. We expect to maintain this directory for only a short time (perhaps one release), so users have time to make the change. The ./windows directory now contains project files for Visual Studio .Net, as well as existing source and test scripts. This will allow us to greatly simplify the build process for the majority of our users. We have created a new solution (.Net equivolent of workspace) that houses the Fortran project files. This allowed us to remove these files from the main solution, as well as streamline the conversion in the Fortran solution. It is also much easier now to convert to Visual Studio 2005 files. Notes: I didn't update the MANIFEST with this check-in, I will make those changes shortly. Also, I haven't yet updated the documentation to reflect this check-in. That is going to require more work. We will be giving a seminar in the coming weeks about .Net and how to migrate over. Tested: VS6/VNET/VS2005 on WinXP 32/64-bit
