  1. It was feared that older build systems like Visual C++ 6.0 might not work. I noted that this issue should not be a problem in theory because of the MSDN documentation. This point is probably now moot anyhow because people have enough trouble even finding MSVC 2005 these days.

Not moot, because VC6 was the last release that avoids "side by

side assembly hell", and the need to provide all the installables

that are needed for latter VC++ releases.

Doesn't MingGW32 avoid the use of side by side assemblies?

Regardless, I really don't think that I've broken VC6 builds. If someone still has VC6 which can test, then please do so. :)
