Summary: Remove the /dists/msvc6 folder

Initial Comment:
The MSVC6 project files haven't been updated for very long now, and it's doubtful whether ScummVM can even be compiled under MSVC6 anymore. They are too different from the MSVC7+ files, so there's no easy way to generate them automatically like the project files of the newer MSVC versions. Unless we decide to use a specialized tool that can auto-generate these files, and unless someone that actually uses MSVC6 comes to test compilation, I doubt that the current files will be of any use to anyone, so I propose to either remove all the files in the /dist/msvc6 folder or put a README in the folder saying that the files in it are now very old and untested
