Re: Visual C++ 6 patches

We are dropping support for Visual C++ 6.0 as Microsoft
does not consider the combination of VC 6.0 and the XP SP2 SDK
as supported.

Visual Studio 2005 is now supported for the 32-bit builds.
I will be working on migrating to support the 64-bit cross
compilers from VS 2005 over the next few months.

What is your reason for wanting to continue support for the
older tools?
