Generally, the converted VC6 project file will produce a VC7 project file
that carries over the same settings and generates compiles that are
equivalent.

(See above) and, more in the case of 7.1(.NET2003), you may have other
compile options available such as specific processor optimisations.

I would have thought that serious developers are likely to download the
relevant libs and compile their own binaries rather than rely upon
pre-compiled binaries from another source, even if it is Xiph!! But,
shipping binaries of the two flavours you mention shouldn't be too onerous,
I would have thought.
