Thanks for the info Jan :) I have 5.10.1004 on Vista on my laptop and
getting lots of errors with MSVC9.0 like Bob Faist. Unfortunately I
can't build other modules like Wx too. Perhaps the current situaton
with MSVC can be mentioned in the docs until it builds under that
compiler.

FYI: 22, 50, test* tests are failing. Tested with 2.08 and the head
revision from svn.

Cheers,
Burak
