Regarding the install.html file. In the "Installation" section of the document.

Installation

To use the shared library version of GLEW, you need to copy the headers and libraries into their destination directories. On Windows this typically boils down to copying:
bin/glew32.dll              to      %SystemRoot%/system32
lib/glew32.lib              to      {VC Root}/Lib
include/GL/glew.h       to      {VC Root}/Include/GL
include/GL/wglew.h      to      {VC Root}/Include/GL

where {VC Root} is the Visual C++ root directory, typically C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/VC98 for Visual Studio 6.0 or C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/Vc7/PlatformSDK for Visual Studio .NET."

Could this section be updated? The latest version of Visual Studio is 12.0 and things have moved around since then. I'm unable to find the "lib" directory in VS because of this (sorry, I'm not an adept developer with great intuition).

    I see. I don't personally recommend putting GLEW binaries in system, SDK or visual studio directories. But these instructions predate my involvement in GLEW. Perhaps we just ought to remove this advice. Thoughts?
