Summary: ScummVM does not compile with VC++ Express

Initial Comment:
When attempting to build ScummVM using Visual C++ 2008 Express, compilation fails at the end with the error "LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'LIBC.lib'", since the static version of LIBC is not available with the Express edition.
Adding libc.lib to the IgnoreDefaultLibraryNames list for VCLinkerTool in ScummVM_Global.vsprops allows it to build successfully, though I don't know if this would impact the ability to compile using the full version of Visual C++ 2008 - if it does, perhaps an additional flag for the create_msvc tool could be added to request the creation of Express-compatible project files.
