Compiling with VS2012 instead of VS2010

I'm moved my development to VS2012 and out of the box Monkey requires VS2010 to compile for Glfw. Well there is an easy fix!

Open the base solution \targets\glfw\template\vc2010\MonkeyGame.sln and when prompted to 'Update VC++ Compiler and Libraries' (to use the Visual C++ 2012 variants), click the Update button. Save the changes when finished and your done!

I'm currently using VS2012 Professional and not Express, but I'm assuming this will work correctly.

Note: Unlike C#/VB.Net solutions, VC++ solutions are NOT backwards compatible so if you still require VS2010 you should not bother upgrading for the time being:
