Build nitgen-bsp on Windows

[luzfcb]

hi @fiorix, thanks for your hard work on this project. Is possible build nitgen-bsp on Windows?

I have the HamsterDX (model HFDU06) I tried using " eNBSP_SDK_v4.85" for windows

Using Visual C++ 2008 Express:

C:\Users\fabio.luz\Desktop\nitgen\nitgen-bsp>setup.py build

running build_ext

Perhaps those unknown types (e.g. BYTE) are defined in a different header that is not #include'd ? Not sure... I never tested this on Windows and have no plans on doing so. You should try building some of their examples and see if they work on Windows, then go back on troubleshooting the Python module.
