Personally, I'm still stuck at VC5 - however, since I no longer own a copy of 
windows, this isn't a major problem for me :-)

If this is indeed the case, that's a good reason to supply VC6 project files 
as well.

Since our main win32 maintainer doesn't HAVE vc6, are you interested in 
creating vc6 project files for us, so we can commit them?

The current situation is this: we have an offer for more-recent-project files, 
and we have unusable out-of-date project files for vc6 - so if nobody is able 
to provide up-to-date vc6 project files, any users still stuck on vc6 will 
have to do all this themselves.
