Not working with MSVC

[smaudet]

Does not seem to compile (on windows), saw MSVC/template errors. Project should be more explicit about what is supported.

I'm sorry lol I never thought anybody would ever use this project. MSVC is currently not supported.

@thetredev It's fine I found a different project. I did like how you did the args a bit better than the competition (object refs instead of strings), but.

Thanks a lot. I'll see if I can add MSVC support this week. Could you please post the issues you were having, so I know better where to look?
