Marvin Humphrey commented on LUCY-211:
--------------------------------------
I've reviewed the commits on the msvc6 branch (through
<https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=lucy.git;a=shortlog;h=d1a1b110>)
and things look great. Thanks very much for taking this issue and running
with it!
A few minutes ago, I pushed a new branch, "kill_clownfish_host", which has
some conflicts with the msvc6 branch. It would be nice to get msvc6
committed to master, after which I'll adapt my commits as necessary.

> MSVC 6 is an old compiler, released in 1998, but some people still use
> it, particularly those motivated by the C runtime linking issue. It will
> be hard to maintain support without a smoker, but the Lucy mainline
> should be reasonably close to compatibility right now, so it's worth a
> try to see if we can build and pass tests.
