CGAL and its third party libraries installation tutorial (for Windows)

[maximecharriere]

Salut l'équipe !

I was quite new in the world of building libraries and linking them together a few months ago.
I needed CGAL for a project, so I followed the installation tutorial on the CGAL website, but I soon ran into configuration and compilation problems with third party libraries.
Notably due to the fact that I have to code for Windows and that everyone uses Linux, but also because each library has its particularities and issues. Well, it's maybe mostly because I was a newbie...

So I spent weeks to resolve building and linking errors, and so that this time I spent could be useful to others, I wrote a step by step tutorial on how to install CGAL and some of its dependencies.

This tutorial is for Windows using MSVC compiller.

I was wondering if you would be interested in including this tutorial on your website or your GitHub repository. So that my experience of using CGAL on Windows can be usefull to someone else.
