On Windows the convention is to rely on filename extensions to decide
whether a file is executable so Windows users are probably not relying
on the executable bit of these scripts, but on other platforms it can
be useful documentation.

These scripts generate projects for the MSVC IDE (.vcproj files) or
QMake (.pro files), based on the output of a 'make -n MSVC=1 V=1' run.
This enables us to simply do the necesarry changes in the Makefile, and you
can update the other buildsystems by regenerating the files. Keeping the
other buildsystems up-to-date with main development.
The generator system is designed to easily drop in pm's for other
buildsystems as well, if someone has an itch. However, the focus has been
Windows development, so the 'engine' might need patches to support any
platform.
Also add some .gitignore entries for MSVC files.
