Description

Add ​Visual Leak Detector support to building configuration for Visual C++ compiler.

Visual Leak Detector is a free, robust, open-source memory leak detection system for Visual C++ developed by ​Dan Moulding

The VLD should be optional and configurable from nmake.opt​ file.

Recommended version of VLD is 1.9, current Beta, but practically stable.

I added the VLD support to GDAL in trunk (r12841 and r12894).

In order to enable VLD, uncomment line 32 in nmake.opt file and edit VLD location if needed: 

MSVC_VLD_DIR="C:\Program Files\Visual Leak Detector"

After this change, building configuration will detect and enable VLD support automatically.
