This is a preliminary, but full, port of Ceres to Windows.
Currently all tests compile and run, with only system_test
failing to work correctly due to a path issue.

Ceres has traditionally battled with portability issues
when trying to classify floating point values as one
type or another. For example, in C99 'isnan' is a
macro. Since it is a macro, it is impossible to
override the name in other namespaces.
Instead of trying to use preprocessor hacks to work
around the issue, define our own set of camel-case
names for use internally and by Ceres clients. For
example do this:
template<typename T>
void MyFunction(T x, T y) {
if (ceres::IsNaN(x)) {
...
}
}
instead of using "isnan" or "std::isnan". Note that
while GCC and Apple GCC both import 'isnan' into
the std namespace, it is not standard until C++11
which Ceres will not require for some years.
