Which might be nice to have, but a lot of work.
And probably quite sloooow on a lot of platforms, if my experiences with
Cairo are anything to go by...

Might look lovely though!

Yes - the actual, minimal, support that Fabien added is good to have, I
think.
It is just unfortunate that the VC2005 IDE files ended up in the state
they did as that caused *a lot* of confusion.


Albrecht, if you make this change and update the Readme, it might be
worth pointing out that the current MS IDE's can still read the old VC6
project files, just in case new users do not know that...

Also (oh no, I'm on a roll now!) might be worth "deprecating" the
built-in makefiles stuff (Makefile.mingw, makeinclude.mingw,
config.mingw etc.) as they seem to be mostly out of date, then tweaking
the readme to remove any mention of them. We could mention Msys/mingw or
cygwin as credible alternatives I think.
