Improved ISO C/C++ Standards Support

Compiler

Supports the following ISO C++11 language features:
- Default template arguments for function templates.
- Delegating constructors.
- Explicit conversion operators.
- Initializer lists and uniform initialization.
- Raw string literals.
- Variadic templates.

rvalue/lvalue Reference Casts. With rvalue references, C++11 can clearly distinguish between lvalues and rvalues. Previously. the Visual C++ compiler did not provide this in specific casting scenarios. A new compiler option, /Zc:rvalueCast, has been added to make the compiler conformant with the C++ Language Working Paper(see section 5.4, [expr.cast]/1).
The default behavior when this option is not specified is the same as in Visual Studio 2012.

C99 Libraries

- C99 functionality added to <math.h>.
- Complex math functions in new header, <complex.h>.
- Integer type support in new header, <inttypes.h>; includes format string support for "hh".
- Support for variable argument scanf forms in <stdio.h>. C99 variants of vscanf, strtoll, vwscanf/wcstoll, isblank/iswblank implemented.
- New conversion support for long long and long double in <stdlib.h>.

Standard Template Library

- Support for the C++11 explicit conversion operators, initializer lists, scoped enums, and variadic templates.
- All containers now support the C++11 fine-grained element requirements.
- Support for these C++14 features:
- "Transparent operator functors" less<>, greater<>, plus<>, multiplies<>, and so on.
- make_unique<T>(args...) and make_unique<T[]>(n)
- cbegin()/cend(), rbegin()/rend(), and crbegin()/crend() non-member functions.
- <atomic> received numerous performance enhancements.
- <type_traits> received major stabilization and code fixes.

Visual C++ Library Enhancements

C++ REST SDK is added. It has a modern C++ implementation of REST services. For more information, see C++ REST SDK.
C++ AMP Texture support is enhanced. It now includes support for mipmaps and new sampling modes.
PPL tasks support multiple scheduling technologies and asynchronous debugging. New APIs enable the creation of PPL tasks for both normal results and exception conditions.

C++ Application Performance

- Auto-Vectorizer now recognizes and optimizes more C++ patterns to make your code run faster.
- ARM platform and Atom micro-architecture code quality improvements.
- __vectorcall calling convention is added. Pass vector type arguments by using the __vectorcall calling convention to use vector registers.
- New Linker Options. The /Gw (compiler) and /Gy (assembler) switches enable linker optimizations to produce leaner binaries.
- C++ AMP shared memory support to reduce or eliminate data copying between CPU and GPU.

Profile Guided Optimization (PGO) enhancements:

Performance improvements from a reduction in the working set of apps that are optimized by using PGO.
New PGO for Windows Store app development.

Resizable C++ Project Properties Window.

VS2013 seems to have broken freeimage. std::max and std::min can't be found any more, I had to manually add #include <algorithm> to some of the files. That fixed it.
I haven't got the rest built yet, cmake added boost for 2012 to ogremain, I don't have a 2013 build of boost yet (I didn't even want boost included), so it failed.
