[Scummvm-devel] msvc6 project files

[Jamieson Christian]

To my knowledge, I was the last dinosaur still clinging to MSVC6, and 
the last remaining maintainer of the project files. I stopped 
maintaining the project a year and a half ago, and even at that time, 
the codebase was becoming increasingly incompatible with the 
non-standards-compliant capabilities of MSVC6. I have since switched to 
Bloodshed Dev-C++.

I agree that MSVC6 should become officially unsupported. We would just 
have to continue to patch around feature sets that are based on code 
that MSVC6 does not support.

Pawel, upon your removal of the project files, I would be happy to go 
through and remove the old #ifdef workarounds I had put in to patch 
around MSVC6-incompatible sections of the codebase.

Cheers,
