You will need to make new compiler version entries in 
config/NTMakefile.i386_nt40 if you are going to build with .NET 2005.  I 
am not going to attempt to support that compiler until after the next 
major release.

I'm assuming then that you do not have a 64-bit environment available to 
build / test.  If you did, I would
prefer a build using the .NET2003 compiler for 64-bit since that is what 
we will be shipping for the foreseeable
future.

No, but its not surprising.
