I guess upgrading to VS 2010 is probably OK, but we should note that
VS2008 is deprecated with 5.6.3 and may not be tested for 5.7.0 / 6.0.0.

I think, if VS 2015 builds fine and VS 2010 and VS 2012 are happy, so
will be VS 2013 (if it doesn't have some crazy bug).

I hope you consider / qualify for using VS 2015 (or VS 2013) community
edition (professional with some really minor drawbacks and some license
restrictions) so this doesn't hurt your wallet too much :)
