The docs apply to Windows/Visual Studio as well, but they don't explain
how to setup a project to the same extent like they do for linux or
cygwin.

Basically, you only need to generate an import library for mono.dll,
the dll that provides the embedding APIs.

Get this file:

http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/viewcvs/*checkout*/trunk/mono/msvc/mono.def

and create mono.lib with Visual Studio's lib.exe tool:

	lib /nologo /def:mono.def /out:mono.lib /machine:x86

Then link you application with mono.lib.
