[Mono-dev] Building mono runtime in VS2003

Here's what we do:

    #if _MSC_VER >= 1400
    #include <intrin.h> /* VS2005 */
    #else
    void _ReadWriteBarrier();
    #pragma intrinsic(_ReadWriteBarrier)
    void _WriteBarrier();
    #pragma intrinsic(_WriteBarrier)
    #endif

And then change mono_memory_read_barrier to:
    #if _MSC_VER >= 1400
    _ReadBarrier ();
    #else
    _ReadWriteBarrier(); /* VS2003 does not have _ReadBarrier intrinsic */
    #endif

VS2003 does not seem to have ReadBarrier, so instead do a full
read&write barrier. Which can be a bit more expensive, but oh well.
