Good work to support such an environment! I liked some of your other
products as well.

>From what I have seen, it is extremely difficult if not impossible to
support both Visual C++ 6.0 and VS 2003+ in the same project. I had to
use VC++ 6.0 to build a commercial Windows application and want to
switch to something like Dev-C++ as soon as I possibly can.

For example, the CR-LF issue is a real problem for VS and is only an
annoyance for everyone else. Perhaps we should just store all files in
Unix format and let the VS users use something like ASCII FTP to
convert to DOS format.
