Hello,
Yes, and this happened quite some time ago so I'm afraid it might require
some effort to make it compile with VC6. Is there really no way for you to
use VC7 or maybe mingw32/cygwin?

Could it be just the EOL problem again? Check that the .dsp file has DOS
line terminations ("\r\n").

Maybe the conversion doesn't work because of the custom build steps. You
could try removing them and trying again.
Otherwise the only solution I see is to take the latest M.dsp from the
svn, do a diff for M.vcproj between then and now and manually apply it to
the .dsp file.
Good luck (although it would be really good if you could avoid VC6
all together :-) and if you have any questions/problems, please don't
hesitate to ask here.
