Compiled and linked! :)

Had to overhaul my CMakeLists.txt tho'. Here are the changes I had to make:

include_directories(
	"$(VSINSTALLDIR)include"
	"$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc/include"
	"$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK/include/prerelease"
	"$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK/include"
	"$(FrameworkSDKDir)include"

	"C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/Vc7/include"
	"C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 
2003/Vc7/PlatformSDK/Include"
	"C:/Program Files/Alias/Maya6.5/include"
	C:/Work/Demo/TestTexturePlugin/
)

add_definitions(
		"/D \"WIN32\""
		"/D \"_DEBUG\""
		"/D \"_AFXDLL\""
		"/D \"_MBCS\""
		"/D \"_WINDOWS\""
		"/D \"NT_PLUGIN\""
		"/D \"REQUIRE_IOSTREAM\""
		"/D \"CMAKE_INTDIR=Debug\""
		#TestTexturePlugin_EXPORTS
)

link_directories(
	"$(VCInstallDir)lib"
	"$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc/lib"
	"$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK/lib/prerelease"
	"$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK/lib"
	"$(FrameworkSDKDir)lib"
	"C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/Vc7/lib"
	"C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/Vc7/PlatformSDK/Lib"
	"C:/Program Files/Alias/Maya6.5/lib"
)

I've still got a few odd's and ends to take care of. To begin with, the 
target application (Autodesk Maya) refuses to lead the plugin because 
its unable to find an initialize function which is included in the 
source file pluginMain.cpp. Specifically, the output should have a .mll 
file extension instead of .dll.

One other minor question: it appears the visual studio path(?) macros 
e.g. $(VCInstallDir) aren't recognized/expanded. Why is this so?
