Various improvements to build files.

* Removed Makefile. Use the MSVC Makefile to build instead.
* Removed Visual C++ workspace files.
* Use medium memory model for executables.
* Disable optimisations in Open Watcom as the executable was crashing
  with them enabled.

 To build the application from the command line with Microsoft's Visual C++
-compilers, open a command prompt, change to the directory containing the
