Gaffer Dependencies for Windows Snapshot

This is a work in progress release of Gaffer Dependencies for Windows. They are meant to help with building Gaffer on Windows but are not production ready yet.

To build Gaffer with these, unzip to an empty directory. Open a Visual Studio 2017 x64 Native tools command prompt and set the environment variable BUILD_DIR to the directory where you unzipped the dependencies.

Note that Cortex is not included in this release. It needs to be built separately from our [work-in-progress Cortex repository] (https://github.com/hypothetical-inc/cortex/tree/msvc2017_for_merge) before building Gaffer.

Clone the Gaffer repository (currently you need https://github.com/hypothetical-inc/gaffer/tree/msvc2017_for_merge branch) and run contrib/cmake/buildwindows.bat.
