Installing on windows requires 'protobuf.lib' file that does not exist

[Babay88]

Installing on windows with
pip install gcld3 finally requires protobuf.lib file.

    LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'protobuf.lib'

But there is no protobuf.lib and no info on it on the internet.
It looks like we need libprotobuf.lib file. Copying libprotobuf.lib to protobuf.lib (and setting environment variables to it) solved the issue.
