Nick Wellnhofer commented on LUCY-211:
--------------------------------------
I've been fighting for hours with random crashes under MSVC6. I found the cause
just minutes ago.
Now all tests PASS with MSVC6 and the February 2003 Platform SDK. I think I
could even make it work with the SDK that comes with MSVC6, but that would
require more ugly hacks.
I'm about to commit a cleaned up version of the msvc6 branch now.

> 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.
