[Stk] Stk 4.4.3 example projects

[Stephen Sinclair]

"Microsloth".. that's gold :)

fwiw, on some projects I use a program called "premake" to generate
visual studio projects.  A pain to have to maintain another build
system though, but in practice it doesn't add much work.

I agree in principle that MingW should be enough-- as long as the
headers and resulting binary are compatible with Visual Studio, it
should be possible to just post a .lib file for VS users to use.
forget maintaining a project file, just tell them to import the
headers, set some pre-defined macros, and it's done.

I got fed up enough on one project to the point where now I'm
cross-compiling the windows version using mingw on Linux, just because
it's easier to deal with.

Most likely, I will remove the MS project files in the next release and people can simply build their own as needed using whatever IDE they want.
