It is a shortcut to vcvarsall.bat (with x86_amd64 as a parameter) in the 
windows start menu as installed (on my system) by the "VS Express 2013 
for Desktop" (free edition).

ws2_32 is the windows' winsock2 library.
Without it I got unresolved symbols to winsock calls made by the project.
The existing comment in CMakeLists.txt about missing windows libraries 
implies that this is a known issue.

I created an empty directory called "build" inside the directory called 
"main".
I did not copy any files there.
CMake will fill the directory when invoked from within.
