Wipe out all the VC build files.  I think we said in 3.8 we would officially no 
longer support VS and windows users should use cmake.

 

There are way too many versions of VS to keep track of. Even a windows user is 
not going to test all permutations and each always seems to require a slightly 
different diet.

 

You'll have to kill the appveyor testing of NMake etc. though.  I think both 
dan and I have appveyor jobs things since I get alerted when it breaks.

 

But you can take those out of the appveyor testing suite.

Subject: [geos-devel] *.vc files

 

Are the *.vc files still maintained at all? I'm guessing not. Can we expect VC 
builds to use cmake now?

 

I'm attempting to integrate all version information to one place for all 
builds, but the manual maintenance of the *.vc files remains a sticking point.

 

If they are dead I'd like to remove them from master.

 

I'm also willing to remove them from 3.7 if there's a desire to backport 
one-point-of-truth versioning to that branch.
