As someone who knows all of the Windows build platforms well... my 2 cents jives with your decision, Bill. Using MSVC 6.0 at this point and keeping the makefiles is the only 'sane' thing to do at this point.
Couple of months ago I've proposed a 'hand-written' nmake system containing of a single common .inc file and actual implementation (for APR). It can be used to build the APR as dll/lib on any platform/cpu/compiler starting from vc6 up. The major fear was the maintenance. Well, the number of modules or files that gets added to the core is so small, and I found it's easier to copy/paste/rewrite_few_lines rather then open .dsw and the point-click couple of hundred times. Since the similar system works just fine for Netware I see no reason why that can not be implemented for windows too. The days when there was only win32/i386 are long time gone. Regards, Mladen.
