[ADMB Users] ADMB 64 MS visual 10 -- Building DLL issues

[Ian Taylor]

I just copied Arni's email (pretty much verbatim) into a new FAQ item:
http://admb-project.org/documentation/faq#dll
If anyone has a suggestion for a revision to that, or if it ceases to be
the current state of ADMB, please let me know.
