I think dropping HKDF from here is ok, because we /know/ that the
interface will change soon. Concerning the Encoder I'm not too sure.
Generally adding stuff seems to be considered ok for minor releases
(5.6.2 got Keccak) so the encoder may stay.

It would be nice if VS 2005 would be supported but I guess we don't have
to (let it stay untested?).

I think VS 2008 should be supported.

I also think that VS 2010, VS 2012, VS 2013 and VS 2015 need to be
supported (-> no warnings during compilation at standard W3, 5.6.2 did
this on all supported versions (up to 2012)).

We should test it (2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015).

At the moment I'm testing the build (and the potential fixes) with VS
2015 (community edition), I'll write a mail about progress later this day.
